/Sounds like "SAHN" (as in "salsa") + "goo" (as in "good") + "cheh" (as in "check")/
A sandwich, the local and endearing way they say it in Peru and Argentina. Every Spanish-speaking country adapted this borrowed English word to their own accent and rhythm, and this warm, casual version stuck firmly in everyday speech.
“A chicken sandwich to go, please.”
“The sandwiches at the market are amazing; better than anywhere else.”

Achicar
In Argentina and Uruguay, to intimidate someone until they back down, or to shrink back yourself under pressure or fear. "Achicarse" means caving when you should hold firm, showing weakness when the situation demands you stand your ground.
