¡Apodos! Funny & Endearing Salvadoran Nicknames

Salvadorans enjoy creative apodos! “Cipote/a” is used for kids or to denote youthfulness. “Bicho/a” literally means “bug” but is used like “kid” or “dude”. “Maje” is similar to “dude” or “man”. “Chero/a” means “friend” or “pal”. “Patojo/a” (Duck-footed) is often used affectionately, regardless of how one walks.
