The bump you get on your head after a knock or a hit, a classic bruise-knot. In Mexico, chipote is the standard word for that swollen lump, and it's often said with a tone of sympathy or mild amusement at the clumsiness involved.
“Me salió un chipote enorme de golpearme con la puerta.”
“I got a huge bump on my head from hitting it on the door.”
“The kid came home with a knot on his forehead from playing so hard.”

Cielito Lindo
A 19th-century Mexican folk song that became the unofficial anthem of El Tri, the Mexican national soccer team. When the crowd breaks into "ay, ay, ay, ay, canta y no llores," the match turns into a cultural event. Every Mexican knows every word, and hearing it in a packed stadium is a shivers-down-your-spine moment.
