/Sounds like "choh" (as in "chose") + "LEE" (as in "lead") + "toh" (as in "toll")/
An affectionate term for someone of indigenous or humble Andean origin, used in Bolivia and Peru. Between lifelong friends from the same community it carries real warmth, but the same word can feel loaded with class and race dynamics when said by an outsider. Tone and relationship change everything.
“My buddy always brings me fruit from the market without me even asking.”
“He calls him that with genuine affection, they have been neighborhood friends since they were kids.”

Huevonazo
The ultimate lazy bum in Mexico, a supercharged "huevón" who avoids any effort at all costs. A "huevonazo" would rather stay in bed all day than lift a finger.
