Your word isn't here yet

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

/Sounds like "CHEE" (as in "cheek") + "doh" (as in "door")/

Meaning

Cool, awesome, great, the most positive adjective in Mexican slang. When something is chido, it's not just okay, it's genuinely impressive or enjoyable and gets your full seal of approval.

Examples

How awesome that you got the job!

That restaurant is so cool, the food is incredible.

Your new car is sick, congrats.

Word family

To pester or annoy someone persistently and for no good reason. In Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador, "enchinchar" comes from "chinche" (bedbug), capturing that specific petty irritation of someone who just will not leave you alone, biting at you over and over.
