/Sounds like "KEH" (as in "kept") + "PLAHN" (as in "plan") + "chah" (as in "chat")/
An expression of secondhand embarrassment in Chile, when something is so awkward you feel bad for the other person. You want to look away and pretend you didn't see anything that just happened.
“What a plancha what happened to her during the presentation.”
“It was a total plancha.”

Papalote
A kite in Mexico. It comes from the Nahuatl word 'papalotl' meaning butterfly, because it flies through the sky with the same grace and freedom as a butterfly on a perfect windy day.
