/Sounds like "pee-CHEEN-gah"/
A large container of water or liquids in Nicaragua, Honduras, and El Salvador, typically the several-gallon plastic jug used for drinking water in homes without constant service. When the neighborhood water gets cut, the pichinga is salvation. Also used figuratively to describe someone full of something ("lleno como pichinga").
"Hay que llenar las pichingas antes que corten el agua. → We have to fill the pichingas before the water gets cut."
"Me bajé una pichinga entera después del jale. → I drank a whole jug after work."

Mogollón
A huge amount of something, a whole lot, a ton of it in Spain. Used when you want to emphasize that there's an absurd quantity of something without getting into exact numbers. It works for things, people, and situations, and it's one of those uniquely Spanish words that you hear constantly on the streets of Madrid.
