Chapin is a common phrase among people from Guatemala. They affectionately call their country members Chapin (male pronoun) or Chapina (female female pronoun). Typically used by young people but recognized by all Guatemalan's as being a proper word. Example:

An elderly person could say (and probably would say), "Soy Chapin!" translates ,"I am Chapin" or "I am Guatemalan" and it would not be racy or out of place language despite age variance.

Among Guatemalan people, a person might commonly greet another with just that word, "Chapin!" as any foreigner would greet their brethren with a similar word for "Countrymen".
