/Sounds like "moo" (as in "moon") + "CHAH" (as in "chat")/

Meaning

A Guatemalan vocative for calling out to a group, equivalent to "everyone," "hey all," "guys." Comes from "muchachada" shortened in fast Chapín speech. "¡Muchá, vengan a comer!" means everyone, come eat. Used in family gatherings, with friends, in informal contexts. An unmistakable marker of Guatemalan Spanish: no other country uses it with that naturalness and affectionate tone.

Examples

Everyone, food's ready.

What's up everyone.
