/Sounds like "pees" (as in "pea") + "KAHR" (as in "car")/
Chicano Spanglish for harvesting crops by hand in the fields, from English "to pick." The classic labor of the migrant farmworker: picking grapes, strawberries, tomatoes, or chiles under the California or Texas sun.
“My dad went to Fresno to piscar grapes for the whole season.”
“We were piscando chiles before the sun even came up.”

A Costa Rican filler word that works like "well" or "what did you expect?" Ticos drop it to respond to something obvious, express mild surprise, or kick off an explanation like it is the most natural thing in the world.
