Join Hablaaa and add the expression no one else has documented.

/Sounds like "CHEH" (as in "check") + "cheh" (as in "check") + "rehs" (as in "red")/

Meaning

Old stuff, junk, or belongings accumulated with no order or sense in Colombia and Venezuela. All those things you have stored in the closet, haven't used in years, but refuse to throw out just in case.

Examples

We need to toss those chécheres from the room.

I have a box full of chécheres from college.

Regional synonyms

An expression of agreement or confirmation used across Central America, especially Guatemala. It is the local equivalent of Mexico's "órale": you say "dale pues" to confirm plans, close a casual deal, or simply agree to something with warmth.
