/Sounds like "seh" (as in "set") + "ROH" (as in "row") + "teh" (as in "ten")/
In El Salvador, used as a casual address between close friends, similar to "dude" or "bro." Technically a crude word, but the closeness between friends takes the edge off.
“What's up dude, haven't seen you in ages.”
“That guy is my best friend since school.”
/Sounds like "seh" (as in "set") + "ROH" (as in "row") + "teh" (as in "ten")/
A heavy insult that literally means a piece of shit. In Central America and Mexico, it's one of the worst things you can call someone.
“Don't be a cerote, pay me back what you owe.”
“He acted like a total cerote with everyone at the party.”
/Sounds like "seh" (as in "set") + "ROH" (as in "row") + "teh" (as in "ten")/
Friend, buddy, or close person in Guatemala and El Salvador. Here "cerote" is affectionate among friends, completely opposite to its use as an insult in Mexico where it refers to a piece of excrement. Context and country are everything with this word.
“What is up dude, how are you?”
“That dude has been my best friend since school.”
