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

/Sounds like "CHEE" (as in "cheek") + "pee" (as in "pea") + "CHEE" (as in "cheek") + "pee" (as in "pea")/

Meaning

A light, gentle drizzle in Mexico, that rain that barely gets you wet but is just enough to be annoying and refreshing at the same time. It's the kind of rain you don't need an umbrella for.

Examples

It's just a light drizzle, we don't need an umbrella.

The light rain cooled things down a bit this afternoon.

Pachuco/Chicano slang from the US for "hey, look at that" or "watch out." From the English "to watch," filtered through East LA barrio caló of the 1940s and still alive today. When someone drops a "wacho carnal," whatever comes next is worth paying attention to.
