Pubikini

1. The illusion of a bikini bottom formed by unkempt pubic hair.

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.

"Chepos" are characterized by honesty, professionalism, and commitment to service.
