This isn't a traditional word in Honduras, but it was created here so I think it applies to Honduran Words and Expressions. The definition below is a true story. Fortunately, it's not my true story.
The Urban Dictionary entry to make it official (Click here)
Pubikini
1. The illusion of a bikini bottom formed by unkempt pubic hair.
A woman who was naked from the waist down was once walking down the street and I thought she had on a t-shirt and bikini bottoms, but as I got closer, I realized it was a pubikini.
Please accept my apologies for not submitting an image with this entry. I don't think I can paint an image for this entry either. In an effort to provide all four of my readers with quality blog posts, I will embark on a hunt for the wandering Pubikini lady. The chills running down my spine tell me it may be dangerous, the little bit of vomit that just spewed into my mouth foreshadows my reaction upon spotting this supposedly extinct species.

Honduran Words and Expressions - Chepos
Chepo(s)
Noun. A police officer. The term "chepo" is derived from "Chepe," a nickname commonly used for a person named Jose. It is believed that the majority of Honduran police officers are named Jose, causing the generalized nickname to stick to the entire force. Transit officials, military, and specialized "Cobra" forces are exempt from this nickname, although it is safe to assume that the majority of those officers are also name Jose, or Carlos.
"Chepos" are characterized by honesty, professionalism, and commitment to service.

It should be noted that police officers are not fond of the term "chepo."
Usage:
#1. Se metieron a mi casa unos ladrones. Nos dejaron hule!
#2. Que pasada! Y el wachi?
#1. No vio nada, ese man estaba fundiado!
#2. No te preocupes, ahorita llamo a los Chepos. Ellos responderan de immediato y estan capacitados en ciencia forense.
1# Esta bien. Hare lo posible por preservar la escena del crimen.
Taken from inside the cell in the "movil." Wachi in the background

Honduran Words and Expressions - Wachiman
Wachiman
Noun. Someone employed as a caretaker, or watch man; more commonly known as "wachi." Not to be confused with a security guard, this hired help serves as a mere illusion of security; notorious for drinking / sleeping on the job and often accused of participating as the "inside man" in crimes. The machete is the traditional weapon of choice, although some carry firearms... and some of those firearms are actually loaded... and some of the loaded firearms actually work.
Synonym: Rent-a-cop
Usage:
#1. Se metieron a mi casa unos ladrones. Nos dejaron hule!
#2. Que pasada! Y el wachi?
#1. No vio nada, ese man estaba fundiado!
This is an actual wachi, a master at work...
Please excuse the lack of Spanish punctuations.
