/Sounds like "DEH" (as in "debt") + "chee" (as in "cheek") + "REE" (as in "reed") + "pah" (as in "park")/
To achieve something by pure luck or chance, without planning or fully deserving it. In Mexico, when something works out "de chiripa," it just happened to go right by fortune alone.
“I got it right by pure luck, I wasn't even aiming well.”
“We won the game by a fluke in the last minute.”

Cojudo
A stupid or naive person who acts without thinking. One of the most commonly used insults in Peru, though among close friends it can shift into something almost affectionate. The strength of the word depends entirely on tone and relationship: between best friends it is playful teasing; from a stranger it is a genuine insult.
