/Sounds like "GAH" (as in "garden") + "choh" (as in "chose")/
In Mexico and among Chicanos, something ugly, bad, unfair, or just fundamentally off. Gacho covers a wide range of negativity: from a genuinely unjust situation to behavior that is inconsiderate and disappointing. When something is gacho, there is something wrong about it that needs calling out.
“It really sucks that they did not warn you in time.”
“Do not be like that with your family, that is not right.”
/Sounds like "GAH" (as in "garden") + "choh" (as in "chose")/
Bad, ugly, unfair, or just messed up in Mexico. Saying something is 'gacho' expresses the judgment that a situation, thing, or attitude is simply wrong, unpleasant, or completely unacceptable.
“It's pretty gacho that they didn't invite you.”
“Don't be gacho, share with everyone else.”
“The weather is super gacho today, bring an umbrella.”

Dar vuelta la página
To move on from something in the past and keep going without holding a grudge. The emotional equivalent of closing a chapter: you acknowledge what happened and then deliberately leave it behind. Common across Argentina, Uruguay, and Chile.
