Is an abbreviated slang term used to describe someone who is or acts like someone from "el campo" or is a country person. Although sometimes thought as being a male or female from El Salvador, this term can be used to describe anyone who is of Hispanic decent that would fall under this definition.
A few characteristics that someone who is called a Chent posses may include, not being fully educated or lacks common sense or is not fully diverse or ignorant in pop culture, specifically American pop culture. A Chent usually will stay focused on his/her culture and not divulge too much in another culture's offerings.

Sometimes spelled "Chente", Chent is a person of a Latin American country who has immigrated to the U.S. but has not assimilated to the culture of the area that he has immigrated to.
A real chent cannot speak fluent English or has a strong accent when speaking English. They also tend to be near people from their original country. They will only talk in English when necessary.
Most chents will try to "holler" at any female they see. Whistling as well as saying Spanish phrases such as "Coño" "Mira esa jeva" "La quiero pisar" etc. are very common for them to do.
Chents dress in different styles, but their personalities stand them out.
Chents usually hang out around Garden Apartments, Hispanic bars and restaurants where they drink and blast "Ranchera" music. "Reggaeton" & "Bachata" is another favorite when dealing with the younger chents.
Chents are seen driving old beat up cars from Honda, Toyota and Nissan. Rarely do they drive cars not made by those companies. The cars are usually given petty modifications to try to make them look decent.
Chents usually live in Metro areas such as the DC Metro area (where the term originated). They either live in the city or in a suburb of the Metro area.
Most people confuse chents with illegal immigrants because of their similar characteristics, but most chents hold a green card. Many people call others a chent without truly knowing the meaning. To properly identify a chent they have to show more than one quality of chent behavior.

An assimilated Hispanic would hang out with a variety of friends doing healthy activities and trying new customs. In the dating scene, most are respectful people who are looking for a long term relationship.
