Yes, we do in Spain. Chepa means hump.
We say sometimes " se te suben los niños a la chepa" (subirse a la chepa ) in that case means "to hog it"

Hope it helps.

:D

significa una Acepción utilizada para indicar casualidad, suerte, algo inusual.
ejemplos: Pase el examen de chepa, un 65 saque. Un punto menos y me quemo.
Les ganamos el último juego de chepa. Casi perdemos una caja de cerveza.

Hi Heather, haha this is interesting... here in my country we call "chepa" to someone that like to gossip a lot (a gossiper), and we call "chepa" to all girls named "Lourdes" (yes like Madonna's daughter xD)
=P, i had no idea that meant hump xDDD, thank you :D

See you later. Bye

It depends. In Colombia, "chepa" means luck, or something that u got without really deserving it. If u say Yo pasé el examen por chepa, means that u didn´t study and didn´t deserve to pass the test. u just got lucky

Here is Chile, it doesn't mean anything. But we use it as a nickname for women called "Maricela"
