/Sounds like "pee" (as in "pea") + "chee" (as in "cheek") + "KAH" (as in "car") + "toh" (as in "toll")/
In Mexico, an extreme cheapskate who will not spend a single peso even when it is obviously expected. Beyond just being frugal, a pichicato is stingy to a ridiculous or uncomfortable degree: never tipping, never chipping in for group meals, always conveniently forgetting their wallet. Stronger and more colorful than just calling someone "codo."
“No invites a Carlos, es muy pichicato y nunca pone para nada.”
“Don't invite Carlos, he's super cheap and never chips in for anything.”
“¿Neta no vas a dar propina? No seas pichicato.”
“You're seriously not going to tip? Don't be such a cheapskate.”

Gaslighting
Psychological manipulation where someone systematically makes you doubt your own perception, memory, and sanity. It's the most subtle and damaging form of emotional abuse because it convinces you that you're the problem, not the manipulator.
