Add a word/Sounds like "FLYE" + "teh" (as in "ten")/
Meaning
A vulgar, trashy, or street smart person with bad manners in Chile. It's a derogatory term describing a specific social stereotype, similar to "chav" in British English or "ratchet" in American slang. Being called a flaite in Chile is definitely not a compliment, it implies loud, aggressive, and classless behavior.
Examples
“He started fighting like a thug.”
“Those trashy guys were blasting music on the bus.”

Mejenga
An informal pickup soccer game between friends, no league, no referee, just pure street football on any available patch of ground. In Costa Rica, the mejenga is a social institution: on weekends and after work, groups of Ticos gather to play for the joy of playing. No other Spanish-speaking country uses this exact word.
