/Sounds like "TEH" (as in "ten") + "freh" (as in "fresh") + "SEH" (as in "set") + "ahs" (as in "art")/
You're acting bougie, stuck-up, or too good for something. In Mexico, "fresearse" means to behave like a "fresa" (preppy, entitled): being picky, pretentious, or suddenly acting like you're above things you used to do without complaint. You say this to someone who forgot where they came from.
“Don't be like that, why are you acting bougie? You used to eat street food like everyone else.”
“She started acting snobbish since she got into private university.”

Chirola
A coin or a small, insignificant amount of money in Argentina, Uruguay, and Chile. If something pays only chirolas, it barely covers your bus fare. The word captures the frustration of being underpaid or the absurdity of effort that earns almost nothing.
