/Sounds like 'chee-POH-teh'/
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."
"El niño llegó con un chipote en la frente de tanto jugar. → 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."
