OK, I'm Argentinian people, here's the real deal: Che is actually used mostly in Buenos Aires, the capitol. It's not true slang, it's just a word used in Argentina. Slang is more common in the inland regions, like Cordoba. Che means either "hey" or "buddy", or simply "hey, buddy."
Che! Me gusto su chaqueta.

Hey, Timmy, what happened to all your Phish shirts?
Timmy: My dad found my stash and threw them out, now I read adbusters and smoke behind the dumpsters at school. I thought the Che shirts were cool because they're at Hot Topic, it's totally underground; they only have 2200 stores in North America.

Its a word used all over Argentina to call a person, similar to "hey". It has no meaning,it is slightly informal, you can use it at the beginning, in the middle, or in the end of any thing you say. Ernesto "Che" Guevara was a revolutionary leader who as any other Argentinian used the word "che". He was called "che" in foreign countries beacuse he used the word very often, its not that the word was created after him!
"che, estás ocupado?" "hey, are you busy?"
