Bandera de España

/Sounds like 're-ko-chi-NEH-o'/

In Spain, malicious mockery taken to an exaggerated extreme — taunting and making fun of someone with obvious glee. Recochineo goes beyond ordinary teasing into something deliberately cruel and smug.

Example

"His constant mocking after losing the bet was deeply insufferable."

"Stop the mockery — it stopped being funny a long time ago."
