Attention Mexicans! My Mexican Spanish professor assigned us to ask a Mexican these questions…?

I suppose these aren't really questions. I think he wants a native Mexican to tell us what the words/phrases/partial phrases mean.

1) Horchata

2) Chido - esta chido

3) La onda, buena onda, mala onda...

4) El cucuy

5) Chuy

Thanks for your help!
