Create account/Sounds like "MOH" (as in "more") + "cheh" (as in "check")/
In Mexico, a bribe paid under the table to a government official or anyone with decision-making power to get a favor, a permit, or a contract. Basically the same as mordida: you grease the right palm and things suddenly move forward.
“He asked the contractor for a cut before handing over the project.”
“Without paying off someone, they won't approve your permit.”
/Sounds like "MOH" (as in "more") + "cheh" (as in "check")/
Your cut or share of something, especially money, profits, or food in Mexico. If someone asks for their "moche," they want their fair portion of whatever is being split. It can also mean a bribe or kickback in corrupt situations, where someone demands their "moche" to approve a deal or look the other way. Think of it as the Mexican equivalent of asking for your piece of the pie.
“Give me my cut of the profits.”
“He asked the contractor for a kickback to give him the job.”

Crucero
A street intersection in Mexico where red lights turn the sidewalk into a full scene of urban life. Expect vendors selling snacks, windshield washers, jugglers, and every kind of street hustle you can imagine. It is one of those uniquely Mexican spaces where the city pulses loudest.
