Taxi
/Sounds like "TAHK" (as in "tar") + "see" (as in "see")/
Meaning
A paid passenger vehicle that takes you door to door. In Mexico, sitio taxis (the ones at official taxi stands) are more reliable than street taxis, and ever since Uber arrived, many people prefer the app for safety reasons and the fixed price. Knowing the difference matters for tourists.
Examples
“Should we get a taxi or do you prefer Uber?”
“The airport taxi cost me twice as much as the Uber.”

A coward, someone too scared to face difficult situations who always finds an excuse to back down when it really counts. In Spain, "gallina" literally means hen, and calling someone one is the classic way of saying they simply do not have the nerve to step up.
