Sota
/Sounds like "SOH" (as in "solo") + "tah" (as in "tar")/
To play dumb or pretend you have no idea what is going on when you clearly do. In Argentina, hacerse el sota is a social tactic used to dodge responsibility or sidestep an uncomfortable situation by performing ignorance you do not actually have.
“Don't play dumb, you know perfectly well what I am talking about.”
“He played ignorant and got out of paying.”

Chuño
Freeze-dried potato: an ancient Andean staple preserved by leaving potatoes out in the extreme highland cold overnight, then stomping out the moisture. In Bolivia and Peru, chuño has been solving food scarcity in the altiplano for centuries and is still eaten daily. Also used informally to say someone looks shriveled from the cold.
