/Sounds like "TRAH" (as in "tract") + "keh" (as in "kept")/
Chicano Spanglish for railroad tracks, from English "track." Historically many Chicanos worked on the traque, and "del otro lado del traque" (the other side of the tracks) marks the poor side of town.
“We lived on the other side of the traque, where nobody wanted to rent.”
“Don't run across the traque, wait for the train to pass.”

Aguantar
In Venezuela, to wait or be patient, used most often as "aguanta" to tell someone to hold on or pause. One of the most-used fillers to slow someone down or ask for a moment.
