Bandera de Chile

/pes-KAR/

To pay attention to someone, notice them, or give them the time of day. In Chile, 'no pescar' is devastating: it means someone looked straight through you as if you were invisible. When you like someone and they don't pescar you, it stings.

Example

"He talked to her all night and she completely ignored him."

"She didn't give me the time of day even when I spoke directly."
