/Sounds like "key" + "ree" + "co" (as in "cocoa") + "cho" (as in "chocolate")/
A word you shout at someone to curse them with bad luck. It was born in Argentine football culture and went viral when it was reportedly used as an actual tactical weapon during the 2021 Copa América. Yelling "kiricocho" at a rival is like casting a jinx on them right before a crucial play.
"¡Kiricocho! Vas a errar el penal. -> Kiricocho! You're gonna miss the penalty."
"Le grité kiricocho al arquero y la paró, no sirve conmigo. -> I shouted kiricocho at the goalkeeper and he saved it, doesn't work on me."
