A word as a response to an insult, not to be used as an adjective! Can be signed with a point to the nose. Similar in some contexts to 'cheers' 'thanks' in a sarcastic tone etc.
" you are such a weed"
".....cheen"
A second example, if attempting to pull in a nightclub and rejected.. say "cheen" point to the tip of your nose and walk away.
Not to be used for example if you just fell over and say
"I got cheened by the floor"
".....cheen"

Get the cheen mug.This word has the generic connotation of "good/cool" and can be used in almost any context that those two words can be used. It can be used less emphatically as a passing comment such as "Terminaste tu tarea? Chevere." (You finished your work? Good." Or it can be said more emphatically to have the connotation of "great/awesome" such as "Ganaste el juego? Chevere!" (You won the game? Great!). It is also very common to use the very emphatic phrase "Que chevere!" to mean "how great!" or "how awesome!".
In terms of its origins, it derives from the African which means that with all due respect to the Venezuelans and Puerto Ricans that have already posted (I am Puerto Rican), the word was almost certainly popularized first in CUBA where Afro-Caribbean culture was strongest. For example, the word was already being used in very early rumba/mambo songs (e.g. Guaguanco Callejero) for as long as we have had recorded evidence. Cuba was the first major exporter of Afro-Caribbean culture to the Spanish-speaking world (and indeed to the entire world), so it was from Mambo songs played on the radio that the word probably disseminated into the popular culture.
The reason why the word may be associated with Puerto Rico more now is that since the 60's - after Cuba was cut off from the world - Puerto Rico became the main proponent of Afro-Caribbean culture (and has itself been surpassed in the last decade or two by the Dominican Republic). Sorry Venezuelans, but to my knowledge Venezuela has never been a major exporter of Afro-Caribbean culture to the rest of the world.

Get the chevere mug.Probably one of the coolest people you'll ever to be lucky to set your eyes on. She won't admit it, but she knows she beautiful. Brown hair brown eyes but she's blonde at heart. Crazy, loves to party, and don't piss her off because chances are she'll spit in your face. She has a face that might quite literally melt your heart and if you dissagree she'll pull it out stick it in the microwave and actually melt it.

Get the Cheyenne mug.She is sweet and kind but can also be a bitch if you do something wrong. She tries to not keep any grudges but if needed she will. She sticks up for her friends and family no matter what. She also uses music as an escape and hates when people argue.
Cheyenne is a really good friend.
