/Sounds like "WAH" (as in "water") + "choh" (as in "chose")/
In Chile, a lone, unmatched object that got separated from its pair. Most commonly used for socks or gloves, but it applies to anything that should come in twos and is now flying solo.
“I've had one huacho sock since laundry day, the other one vanished.”
“I can't find my glove, it's sitting huacho somewhere.”
/Sounds like "WAH" (as in "water") + "choh" (as in "chose")/
An orphan or motherless person in Chile, but it's also used for something single, loose, or unmatched, like that one sock without a pair. Context determines if it's sad or just descriptive.
“That lone glove has been there for weeks, nobody claims it.”
“The poor kid grew up an orphan and had to fend for himself.”

Pringarse
To get mixed up in something shady or morally compromising, ending up tainted by association. In Spain, once you are "pringado" there is no pretending you were not involved. The word literally means getting covered in grease or fat, and socially it means you are implicated whether you meant to be or not.
