Bandera de México

/ta-la-che-AR/

To do hard, tedious, physical work that nobody wants to do. In Mexico, 'talacha' is the labor that gets done in silence — mechanic work, hauling, cleaning, grinding through the unglamorous tasks that make everything else possible. The person doing talacha rarely gets credit.

Example

"Someone has to do the grunt work around here."

"He spent the whole weekend doing mechanic work on the car."
