I actually lived in Argentina for 2 years. There, you call EVERYBODY Che'. It's like saying "hey, Mac"... You might say to a friend "Don't give me that b.s., Che'!" It's also used like this: "Che', Carlos, come here!"

The reason Ernesto was called El Che' is because he spoke like an Argentine throughout South and Central America -- Since he said things like, "Che', Fidel, let's kill some capitalist pigs," the NON-Argentines called him The Che'.

OK, history lesson's over. Back to your regularly scheduled programming....

"Jesus turned to his disciples and said: 'One of you will betray me.' Judas leaned over and said 'Che! who would that be."
