/Sounds like "TRAH" (as in "tract") + "fee" (as in "feet") + "koh" (as in "coat")/
Traffic congestion that paralyzes streets and eats up hours of your day. In Latin American megacities like Bogota, Mexico City, or Lima, tráfico is legendary: what looks like 20 minutes on a map can easily become two hours of sitting still.
“The 8 a.m. traffic is unbearable, it takes me twice as long.”
“I'm going to be late because of traffic, please let them know.”

To string someone along with empty promises, half-truths, or vague reassurances that keep them pacified without ever resolving the actual problem. A classic Mexican bureaucratic tactic: you leave every conversation feeling like something was said, but nothing was actually done.
