/Sounds like "wah" (as in "water") + "cheh" (as in "check") + "AHR" (as in "art")/
To watch, observe, or keep an eye on something or someone. It comes from the English word 'watch' adapted into a Spanish verb, pure Spanglish in action.
“Check out that car, it's beautiful.”
“Can you keep an eye on my stuff while I go to the bathroom?”

Tomarse el palo
To take a comment or joke personally when it was not aimed at you. In Mexico, someone who "se toma el palo" gets defensive over something that had nothing to do with them, which usually just confirms everyone else's suspicion that it actually did.
