/Sounds like "pee" (as in "pea") + "TEE" (as in "tea") + "yoh" (as in "yoke")/
A drinking straw in Costa Rica, Panama, and Nicaragua. The same object called "popote" in Mexico and "pajita" in Spain goes by "pitillo" in Central America. When these countries started banning plastic straws, pitillos were right at the center of the debate.
“Give me a straw for the juice.”
“They banned plastic straws at a lot of restaurants around here.”

Lesear
To mess around, joke, waste time on nonsense, or playfully bother someone. In Chile, 'lesear' covers everything from lighthearted goofing off to genuinely getting in someone's way. Among friends it's harmless fun; when you're supposed to be working, it's a problem.
