/Sounds like "teh" (as in "ten") + "NEHR" (as in "net") + "EHN" (as in "egg") + "treh" (as in "tread") + "SEH" (as in "set") + "hah" (as in "hard") + "EE" (as in "eagle") + "SEH" (as in "set") + "hah" (as in "hard")/
To have an idea or goal so deeply lodged in your head that you cannot shake it loose or stop thinking about it. In Argentina, Uruguay, and Chile, when something "se mete entre ceja y ceja," you are completely locked in and nothing will talk you out of it.
“She got it in her head to move abroad and there is nobody who can talk her out of it.”
“He has had that project stuck in his mind for years and simply will not let it go.”

To have it in for someone: to hold a grudge and look for any excuse to criticize, sabotage, or judge that person no matter what they do. Used in Argentina, Uruguay, and Chile. Once someone has you "entre ceja y ceja" (right between their eyebrows, squarely in their sights), nothing you do will ever be enough.
“The boss has had it in for him ever since last year's incident, nothing he does is ever right.”
“She has it in for her and picks apart every single thing she does.”

Pelambrillo
In Chile, a light piece of gossip or snarky comment shared behind someone's back, the diminutive of "pelambre." Light enough to be petty rather than seriously harmful.
