/Sounds like "khen" + "SEE" (as in "see")/
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.
“Don't invite that khency, every time he comes the party falls apart.”
“I'm a khency in soccer - my team loses whenever I play.”

Chota
The cops, the police. In Mexico and Central America, "chota" is street slang for law enforcement, used with a sharp edge and built-in distrust. When someone says "ahí viene la chota," it is a fast warning to everyone nearby.
