Peruvian Spanish is rich with unique nicknames. “Pata” is a common term for “friend.” “Chato/a” (snub-nosed) is a term of endearment. “Huachafo” describes someone or something tacky or kitsch. “Churro” can mean handsome for men. “Serrano” literally means “from the mountains” but can be used derogatorily for indigenous people.
