/Sounds like "CHEH" (as in "check") + "peh" (as in "pet")/
A Honduran affectionate way to refer to a man, any man, especially if you don't know his name or are speaking generally. "Ese chepe" can be the vendor, the neighbor, or the stranger on the bus. It's also a common nickname for José. In Honduras "chepe" works like "tipo" or "maje" in other countries: a catch-all word for any guy with a casual tone.
“I asked that guy on the corner.”
“Hey bro, pass the salt.”

Ficho
Well-dressed, polished, and looking sharp at all times. In Ecuador, calling someone ficho is a genuine compliment about their style and personal presentation. They always show up put-together, like they actually planned their outfit and it worked.
