Though I'm more used to Castilian Spanish than say Mexican Spanish but still I can understand it. But the ones you mentioned are totally different words or mean very different from the actual Spanish. Take for example the word CHUPAR that you mentioned means "to drink a lot of alcoholic beverages" but in standard Spanish it means "to suck" Also most of words mentioned above sound more Quechua than Spanish.

Well I'm also a Spanish speaker but I having hard time understanding the word "WEON" that I almost always see on the facebook status of my 2 Chilean friends, their or their friend's comments, etc. Although they talk to me in standard Spanish but still it would be a good idea to learn their version & be able to connect to them more with me learning their Chilean Spanish.

Me llamo Daniel y soy profesor de básica (primaria). Comparto la interpretación de Victor sobre la frase, aunque me parece un poco extraña su escritura.
