Garrotera

Garrotera

The vertical stakes or wooden slats fitted into the sides of a traditional cart. These pieces create the side walls that keep the load from falling out during transit.

You need to make sure the garroteras are nice and tight before loading the firewood, so they do not come loose on the way and cause a mess.

Garrotera

A state of uncontrollable shaking, shivering, or muscle stiffness, usually triggered by extreme cold, intense nerves, or a major scare. It is the feeling of your body locking up and trembling involuntarily. (In Mexican pop culture, this is famously the name for the specific frozen, cramped state the character El Chavo del Ocho enters when he is terrified).

I got out of the pool and with the freezing wind I got such a nasty garrotera that I could not even hold my towel.
