Meaning
A payment card, either debit or credit. In Mexico, asking for the terminal to pay with card is normal in most stores and restaurants, although markets, street stalls, and neighborhood taquerías still prefer cash. Always carry both, because half the city runs on plastic and the other half doesn't.
Examples
“Can I pay with card?”
“The card reader isn't working, do you have cash?”

An exclamation of disgust at a bad smell or something revolting. In Mexico and Central America, fuchi is what you say when something stinks, food gone bad, a dirty place, someone's shoes. Pure, instinctive revulsion in one word.
