Create account/Sounds like "KYOHS" + "koh" (as in "coat")/
In Argentina and Uruguay, a small corner shop that sells candy, newspapers, cigarettes, and drinks. The neighborhood paradise for kids spending their pocket money. The kiosquero knows everyone and sometimes lets regulars pay later.
“Grab some gum at the corner kiosk.”
“The kiosk is closed on Sundays, I always forget that.”

Chusmear
To snoop or stick your nose into other people's business. In Argentina and Uruguay, chusmear is practically a national pastime: it happens over WhatsApp group chats, through the window, or by deep-diving into someone's social media. The word carries no serious judgment; it is just what curious, social people do.
