/Sounds like "MEE" (as in "me") + "syoh"/
Flat broke, completely out of cash until payday. Used in Peru, Chile, and Bolivia, "misio" is the casual, unapologetic way to say you have hit the financial wall. Not a crisis, just the universal end-of-month condition that everyone gets.
“I'm broke until Friday, I can't go out at all.”
“I'm completely tapped out, can you cover my beer?”
/Sounds like "MEE" (as in "me") + "syoh"/
Flat broke, completely tapped out, without a single sol in your pocket in Peru. It's the most direct and honest way of saying you're busted and can't spend a dime until payday.
“I'm misio, can't go out this weekend.”
“After paying rent I was misio until the end of the month.”
/Sounds like "MEE" (as in "me") + "syoh"/
Broke, financially tapped out, with the bank account at zero. In Peru and Chile, being misio is the very relatable end-of-month state: you have plans and needs, but your wallet has other ideas. A casual, self-aware way to explain why you cannot go out.
“I am broke until Friday, I literally cannot go anywhere.”
“With inflation everyone is a bit strapped this month, not just you.”

Chicha
A fermented corn drink with centuries of history in the Andes, one of the most important cultural symbols of the region. Chicha is not just a beverage: it has been offered at rituals, harvests, and festivals for thousands of years across Peru, Ecuador, Bolivia, and Colombia, and its recipe varies by region and occasion.
