Regional synonyms

In Chicano and Pachuco slang from the US Southwest, the feminine form of "wacho": hey girl, look at this. From the English word "watch" filtered through East LA barrio speech. Used among close female friends or comadres when something is worth stopping to notice. The word crosses gender lines in some circles, but its roots are in calling out to a woman.
