Bandera de México

/Sounds like "MO" (as in "mocha") + "cheh" (as in "check" without the "ck")/

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.

Example

"Dame mi moche de las ganancias. -> Give me my cut of the profits."

"Le pidió moche al contratista para darle la obra. -> He asked the contractor for a kickback to give him the job."
