Chele

A Honduran term for a person of white skin. Many may confuse this term with wero or guero but it is different because wero is used for a person with light skin and blonde hair. Chele can be used for anyone of light skin regardless of their hair color. For women use Chela. This term may also be used in many other Hispanic countries especially in Central America.

"Decile al chele que venga aqui", "Llama al chele que el dijo que iva a ir", "La chela no quiere al chele"
