Your word isn't here yet

Join Hablaaa and add the expression no one else has documented.

/Sounds like "pee" (as in "pea") + "chee" (as in "cheek") + "KAH" (as in "car") + "tah" (as in "tar")/

Meaning

Something cheap, low-quality, tacky, and clearly not worth the money. In Argentina, pichicata describes anything that's obviously bargain-bin material and falls apart on first use.

Examples

Those shoes are so cheap, they fell apart in a week.

Don't buy that knockoff, it's terrible quality.

Word family

In the Dominican Republic, a knock or tap on the head with the knuckles, the kind friends give each other or used as school punishment. A well-placed 'chop' will make your head ring for a moment.
