/Sounds like "KEH" (as in "kept") + "ROH" (as in "row") + "cheh" (as in "check")/
In Peru, a burst of embarrassment or cringe-worthy awkwardness when a situation exposes you publicly. That moment when you wish the floor would open and swallow you whole. Very common in casual, youthful Peruvian speech.
“So embarrassing! They caught him cheating on the exam in front of the whole class.”
“That fall in the street was total cringe; everyone was staring.”

Patear el tablero
To completely upend the rules or the established order, usually abruptly. In Argentina and Uruguay, patear el tablero means blowing up what was agreed in order to start fresh, flipping the whole board over when a process has stalled or when someone decides the current setup simply is not working.
