Regional synonyms

A rhyming Chicano negation that reinforces a regular "no" by adding rhythm. It comes from "chale" (Chicano for no) plus "que no" as an echo. It's one of those Chicano Spanish phrases that uses internal rhyme to flavor any response, like "al rato vato" or "simón que yes." You drop it when you want to make it clear that the answer is no, without ambiguity, but in a relaxed tone.
