/Sounds like the English word "pichicat" + "eh" (as in "egg") + "AHR" (as in "art")/
To be stingy, give very little, or skimp on something in Chile and Bolivia. A pichicatero is that person who gives you the absolute minimum and makes you feel like you're asking for too much.
“Don't be so cheap, put more cheese on it.”
“He always skimps on tips, it's embarrassing.”

Encuevarse
To disappear from social life and hole up somewhere private, like an animal retreating to its cave. In Mexico, when you encuevarte you stop answering calls, skip going out, and cut contact with the world until you feel ready to resurface. It can be a response to conflict, heartbreak, or simply needing a real break from people.
