/Sounds like the English word "jinet" + "eh" (as in "egg") + "AHR" (as in "art")/
In Cuba, to hustle tourists for money or gifts by using charm, romance, or any available angle, making a living off foreign visitors through wit and seduction rather than formal work. A uniquely Cuban survival skill shaped by economic scarcity and the constant flow of international visitors.
“He's been hustling tourists in Havana for years.”
“She's not actually interested in you, she's working you.”

Rajada
Feminine form of "rajón": a woman who backs out at the last minute, promised something and then disappeared when it counted. It carries a strong implication of cowardice or not being a person of your word.
