/Sounds like "CHEH" (as in "check") + "poh" (as in "port")/
Police officer or any uniformed authority figure in Panama. 'Chepo' is the everyday street word for cops in Panama, not necessarily hostile, just casual. Hearing 'vienen los chepos' is the universal cue to put away whatever you shouldn't be holding.
“Here come the cops, put that away.”
“The cop stopped me at the corner for no reason.”

In Mexico, to think hard, put your brain to work, or reason through something carefully. Literally "put your coconut into it" - your head being the coconut.
