/Sounds like "CHAH" (as in "chat") + "keh" (as in "kept")/
Watch out! or Careful!, a Guaraní-origin warning used in Paraguay to alert someone of incoming danger. 'Chake' is fast, urgent, and unmistakable, it snaps people to attention before explaining why. The word itself sounds like a warning.
“Watch out, there's a car coming!”
“Be careful with that guy, he's not trustworthy.”

Huila
A derogatory slang term in Mexico for a woman accused of being promiscuous or dressing provocatively. Offensive, classist, and loaded with sexist assumptions. It says far more about the person using the word than the person it is aimed at.
