found "chabon rock" in argentina Explanation: looks like a "chabon" is a guy who's got a rock'n roll attitude (street fighter, tough, muscles, razor blades and so on) sort of argentinian james dean if you see what i mean it would be a "loubard" in french!!!!! |

dude Explanation: Hello! You're right on with the meaning. I would just add that it's slang, moreso than "guy" and is a sort of '80's expression. If you're looking for a slang variety you "chabón" you could use "dude." Cheers! Julie Diccionario etimol�gico del Lunfardo Living in Argentina |

guy / dude Explanation: Contrary to what Julie said, it's not an 80ies expression. Teenagers and young people have adopted this slang word from the Tango language. You can find the word "chabón" in many very old tangos, written in the 30ies. Mi granito de arena! :-) I'm Argentine too. |
