意思
Very informal version of what.
文化背景
The word is the 'calling card' of the gopnik subculture. It's often used in the phrase 'Чё, есть чё?' (What, got anything? — usually asking for cigarettes or money). Young Russians use 'чё' almost exclusively in memes and comments to create a 'relaxed' or 'ironic' tone. In regions like Rostov, 'Шо' is more common than 'Чё', but both serve the same informal purpose. Older, educated Russians might find the word physically painful to hear, viewing it as a sign of the 'degradation' of the language.
The 'Gopnik' Trap
Don't use 'чё' with strangers unless you want to sound aggressive.
Texting Rule
In Telegram, just write 'че'—everyone will know you mean 'чё'.
