/Sounds like "CHOON" (as in "choose") + "cheh" (as in "check")/
A thing, any random object whose name you can't remember or don't know. In Costa Rica and Nicaragua it's the wildcard word for any gadget or thingamajig.
“Hand me that chunche on the table.”
“What's that chunche called? The one for opening cans.”

Stay alert, pay attention, or be ready to act. In Colombia, Ecuador, Venezuela, and Peru, "pilas" is a direct warning or instruction to sharpen up before something important happens. Literally "batteries": having your batteries charged means being switched on and aware.
