Watcha him huarachar
Órale, the feature this week is the the verb, huarachar. It’s derived from the noun, huarache, which means sandal in Nahuatl or Aztec. One nuance of huarachar is to walk or dance in huaraches, but the more common use of this word in Caló is as an analogy for uncouth behavior, that is, acting as if you’re someone who customarily wears huaraches—a hick or backcountry person. It’s an insult with many dimensions, economic status, intelligence or worse. If you’re speaking Caló and you have to say somebody is dancing, you say they’re chancleando or zapateando, not huarachando, unless of course you’re intentionally calling somebody a lout or a brute.
