/Sounds like "PAH" (as in "park") + "LAH" (as in "lava") + "kah" (as in "car") + "HEE" (as in "he") + "tah" (as in "tar")/
In Chile, to be completely wrecked, drained, or done - whether from exhaustion, poor health, or just hitting your limit. "Estar pa la cajita" literally means ready for the little box, as in totally finished.
“I was pa la cajita after the double shift today.”
“This phone is pa la cajita, it barely charges and won't turn on right.”

In Uruguay, an old, beat-up car that looks like it could give up at any moment but somehow keeps going. The cachila is usually owned with irrational affection despite its terrible condition: it rattles, leaks, and complains, but is still beloved.
