/Sounds like "pehs" (as in "pet") + "KAHR" (as in "car")/

Meaning

To pay attention to someone or notice them. In Chile when you do not "pescar" someone you ignored them completely, whether on purpose or not. If someone spent the whole night talking to you and you never "pescaste" them, they are going home disappointed.

Examples

He talked to her all night at the party and she completely ignored him.

She didn't even notice me when I asked her directly.

Regional synonyms

To piss someone off intensely, to push them to the absolute limit of their patience. In Mexico, 'encabronar' means provoking a rage that makes someone blow up.
