An insect bite or sting, especially from a mosquito, bee, or wasp. The small but annoying puncture that leaves a mark, a bump, and that itchy or burning feeling. Everyday word in Mexico.
“A mosquito got me and left a huge bump on my arm.”
“I got a giant welt from a bee sting.”
/Sounds like "pee" (as in "pea") + "KEH" (as in "kept") + "teh" (as in "ten")/
A splash of alcohol added to a drink to give it some kick in Mexico. It can also mean a bug bite or sting, so context tells you whether it's happy hour or a mosquito attack.
“Add a splash of tequila to the coffee for the cold.”
“A mosquito bit me and left a huge welt.”

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.
