/Sounds like "CHEH" (as in "check") + "heh" (as in "help")/

Meaning

A Guatemalan affectionate way to say brother, buddy, or close friend, especially among young men. "Qué tal cheje" means what's up brother. Comes from the urban speech of Guatemala City and is heard among neighborhood friends, school buddies, and youth groups. Along with "mae" and "pisto" it's part of the most identity-defining daily Chapín vocabulary of the last twenty years.

Examples
