escrachar 

The term escrachar is slang (lunfardo) used in Argentina as to mean taking a picture and braking the camera because she or he is so ugly (older meaning), hit a person in the face and make a mess of it, to cancel an event (concert, meeting). To make evident, to expose something or a person for what they really are as it is not know by the majority of people or the public at large (newer meaning). It is also used as when someone is caught red handed. The origin of the word apparently is the Italian word schiacciare to crush, to squeeze, to brake.
A group of militants kirchneristas tried to escrcharla (female third person of escrachar) during her TV show by saying"the oligarchs sit at your table". She answered "...in 42 years that I have done this show I never discriminated against anyone, all kind of people has sat at my table, rich, poor, white and blue color workers.."

Encroachment 

The act of encroachment refers to when someone is invading your space or your zone in an innapropriate way. Encroachment happens on all levels whether it's your older brother dropping game on your girlfriend, or when your roomates friend stays at your house for over a week and drinks all of your soymilk.
Note: When being encroached upon, one can throw a red flag or call a foul in order to identify and prevent any further damage which may be caused.
Man, i'd be way more comfortable chillin at my place if i didn't have multiple dudes there at any given moment. I might have to call them out on their encroachment and tell them to beat it.

I had to put a pillow next to the seat divider because the man's elbow were in my space. I hoped when his elbow touched the pillow he would stop being a seat encroacher. At the very least, he'd be touching the pillow and not me.
