/Sounds like "reh" (as in "red") + "kah" (as in "car") + "GAHR" (as in "garden")/

To seriously screw someone over or leave them in a terrible situation in Peru. When you get "recagado," you're left with no way out.

Examples

She really messed me up by canceling at the last minute.

Regional synonyms

To have guts, courage, and the determination to face something difficult without chickening out. When someone has 'huevos,' they dare to do what others won't, they go all in when it matters.
