Che

Informal Argentine address

Che is a casual interjection common in Argentina and Uruguay, roughly equivalent to "hey" or "buddy," used to get attention or address someone informally.

Outside South America, Che most often refers to Ernesto "Che" Guevara, the Argentine revolutionary whose image—beret, long hair, defiant gaze—became an iconic symbol of rebellion and leftist politics, appearing on countless T-shirts and posters.
