In Cuba and Central America it is a dance; but in Argentina 'dar chang'í' is something like "giving handicap", although more than a method of equalization in a competition between unequal, it would be almost a leftover attitude, as saying "I give you advantage because you are less than me". The truth is that many times the advantage is apparent, it is a deception; and changí in caló means just that: "trap, timo, disappointment". See dar changí .
