Ñañaras Occipucio

In Northern Mexico, ñañaras is a slang term for a feeling of unease, anxiety, or disgust, similar to the creeps or heebie-jeebies. Occipucio is the anatomical term for the base of the skull or the nape of the neck. The full expression refers to the skin-crawling sensation felt at the back of the head when encountering something unpleasant.

When I was eating at my aunt's house, I saw a dead cockroach on the floor and I got ñañaras. She is very clean and I am sure the wretched bug just went there to die, but I could not enjoy the meal after that, despite her great cooking.

Ñañaras Occipucio

A slang term for the creeps, the heebie-jeebies, or intense shivers triggered by something unpleasant or gross. While the first word can vulgarly mean an itchy butt, this specific anatomical pairing refers to a tingling sensation at the base of the skull (this phrase became a meme in Latin America due to the Spanish dub of The Simpsons).

It is funny, but Homer used it in The Simpsons episode Adventure in China when he said, I got Ñañaras Occipucio and in my fingertips. Since the occiput is the back of the head and the other word refers to the tips of the fingers or toes, he is basically saying he got the chills in his neck and toes.
