/Sounds like "NAH" (as in "nacho") + "POHH" (as in "port")/
A firm "no" in Chilean Spanish, combining the negation "no" with the discourse marker "poh." It sounds casual and almost gentle but it is completely final. "Na poh" is one of the most instantly recognizable features of the Chilean accent and shows up in almost every conversation.
“Are you going to the party? Nah, I have to work.”
“Nope, that's not how it happened.”

Chacota
A collective mocking, group teasing, or situation that devolves into uncontrollable laughter and total disorder. When chacota breaks out, nothing serious gets done: everyone is too busy laughing and goofing around to focus on anything.
