/Sounds like "ehs" (as in "egg") + "kah" (as in "car") + "MAHR" (as in "mark")/
To make someone nervous, raise suspicion, or give off a bad vibe. When something escama you, it sets off an internal alarm, something's off, even if you can't name exactly what it is.
“That guy makes me nervous, something isn't right.”
“That gives me a bad feeling, let's investigate before signing.”

Mojar el petate
To wet the bed, literally to soak the petate (the traditional palm mat used for sleeping). In Mexico it is the classic childhood embarrassment, used matter-of-factly about small kids or pets who have not yet learned bladder control.
