/Sounds like "sah" (as in "salsa") + "KAH" (as in "car") + "doh" (as in "door")/
Shocked, bewildered, or completely thrown off by something unexpected in Mexico and Chile. When something so surprising happens that you need a few seconds to process it, you are "sacado." It is that face of total disbelief when reality hits you out of nowhere. Often used as "sacado de onda," which adds emphasis, like saying your whole vibe got disrupted. The word literally means "taken out," as in mentally pulled out of your normal state.
“What he told me left me completely shocked.”
“I'm blown away by the news, I still can't process it.”

Encuevarse
To disappear from social life and hole up somewhere private, like an animal retreating to its cave. In Mexico, when you encuevarte you stop answering calls, skip going out, and cut contact with the world until you feel ready to resurface. It can be a response to conflict, heartbreak, or simply needing a real break from people.
