What does Cachar mean in each country?

Cachar

Used when an animal, typically a bull, strikes or injures someone with its horns. It is a common term in bullfighting contexts to indicate that the beast has gored or hooked a person (often used during bull-running festivals like the San Fermin).

Be careful during the bull run, the animal is coming in hot and if he manages to cachar you, he is going to leave a massive hole in you.
