A massive scare or fright that hits suddenly and leaves your heart pounding. In Argentina, a "recague" is that intense momentary fear that shocks you out of nowhere.
“That horror movie scared the hell out of me, I couldn't sleep all night.”
“It was a huge shock when the lights suddenly went out.”

In Argentina and Uruguay, to notice or pick up on something without being told explicitly. From lunfardo, probably rooted in the Italian "mangiare" (to eat), with the sense of absorbing or digesting a situation intuitively. Think of it as reading between the lines without anyone having to spell it out.
