/Sounds like "khen" + "SEE" (as in "see")/

Meaning

In Bolivia, a person who brings bad luck or misfortune wherever they go - someone with such bad energy they make plans fall apart. From Aymara, used half-seriously and half-jokingly in the western highlands.

Examples

Don't invite that khency, every time he comes the party falls apart.

Regional synonyms

To get it, catch on, or figure something out in Mexico. It's the slang way of saying someone finally understood what's going on and stopped being totally lost in the conversation.
