essay
I keep hearing this word on Univision Spanish TV, and I don't know what it means. It sounds like "essay" in English and I know it's not spelled right, but do you have any idea what it means? I think it's used to refer to people.

I'd say the word was probably "ese", which means "that" It can also be used to say "man" in a colloquial sense.

I would assume the first one, the second one is very colloquial and wouldn't be used on the news.

They pronounce the v like b. (touch your tongue to the back of your front teeth and say "chavo"... was that it? it comes out a bit like theabo ) So it could be ese chavo which would mean that fly boy. Does that seem like it would make any sense?

Is it possible they could have been talking about Hugo Chávez?

No they we're talking about Hugo Chavez, they were talking about a singer, so what you say makes sense. Something like "that dude."

Gracias.
