/Sounds like "chah" (as in "chat") + "BEH" (as in "bed") + "tah" (as in "tar")/
In Argentina and Uruguay, someone who is a bit eccentric, unpredictable, or marches to their own beat, not in a dangerous way, just in a delightfully odd one. With a chabeta around, you never quite know what is going to happen next, but it is rarely boring.
“Ese tipo es medio chabeta, nunca sabes lo que va a hacer.”
“That guy is a bit of an oddball, you never know what he's going to do.”
“Con los chabetas de mis amigos siempre hay alguna aventura nueva.”
“With my eccentric friends there is always some new adventure.”
