May be you are right but, the idea comes from colloquial language of Mexico, where many people think that death is taken as a joke. I was clear about it's a slang.
I didn't know the word's context, and I didn't look for translation before.

James is correct, in his answer.

Really? I didn't answer because I'm not that familiar with the term, but see the following.

That meaning ("to tick someone off") doesn't seem to jibe with your definition. I suppose both are possible, but it seems strange that they would be so different.

It's just a slang; When someone died, a lot of coffee is offered tho those attending wake, there is clear for the term cafetear:
We are going to "cafetear a Jose"

I hope you question it's about this.
