/Sounds like "chee" (as in "cheek") + "bee" (as in "bee") + "REE" (as in "reed") + "koh" (as in "coat")/
A clever, resourceful person who knows how to navigate difficult situations and always finds a way through. In Cuba, a chivirico does not need perfect conditions to succeed, they have enough street smarts and ingenuity to get by no matter the circumstances.
“That clever guy always finds a way to get what he wants, I have no idea how he does it.”
“You have to be resourceful to get by here without burning any bridges.”

Close friend, buddy, or trusted companion in northern Mexico. The word literally means "relative" but gets used for anyone you genuinely like and trust, no blood relation required. It carries the same warm, familiar tone as calling someone "bro" or "homie" in English.
