/Sounds like the English word "gaslighting" (same pronunciation)/
Psychological manipulation where someone systematically makes you doubt your own perception, memory, and sanity. It's the most subtle and damaging form of emotional abuse because it convinces you that you're the problem, not the manipulator.
“He was gaslighting me and I thought I was crazy.”
“Gaslighting is a form of abuse.”

Pichinga
A large container of water or liquids in Nicaragua, Honduras, and El Salvador, typically the several-gallon plastic jug used for drinking water in homes without constant service. When the neighborhood water gets cut, the pichinga is salvation. Also used figuratively to describe someone full of something ("lleno como pichinga").
