Just to confuse things a bit, in Puerto Rico, muchacho can also mean something like "man, dude", for example "Muchacho, hay un calor brutal." Muchacho is often shortened to "Chacho." The female muchacha also has a similar meaning and diminutive.
Camundonguinho above mentions the word CHANGO. If memory serves me, CHANGO in Argentina also means a shopping cart.
