/Sounds like "tah" (as in "tar") + "lah" (as in "lava") + "cheh" (as in "check") + "AHR" (as in "art")/
To do hard, tedious, or physical work that nobody wants to do. In Mexico, "talacha" is the unglamorous labor, mechanic work, hauling, grinding through thankless tasks. The word comes from Nahuatl and the person doing talacha rarely gets the credit they deserve.
“Me pasé todo el domingo talacheando en el carro.”
“I spent all Sunday doing mechanic work on the car.”
“Toca talachear si quieren que esté listo para mañana.”
“Someone has to do the grunt work if you want it ready by tomorrow.”

Food packed from home to eat on the road, at work, or in the field. An Ecuadorian word from Quechua that captures a very practical Andean idea: you always bring something to eat because you never know how long the journey will take.
