Meaning

A Honduran variant of "cipote": a kid, boy, or child of any age from toddler to teenager. The "s" replaces the "c" naturally in Honduran popular speech. A sipote is your son, the younger neighbor, or the kid making noise on the street. Depending on context it can carry affection, mild exasperation, or plain neutral description.

Examples
