    Literally it means my precious life, I imagine these are words from a parent to his/her little daughter, they are widely used in Latin America (at least in Peru I know they are).

    vidita - diminutive from vida
    pechocha - it comes from preciosa, pronounced as a little kid

    You could translate it by my love, my life, my joy etc. etc., it expresses a strong feeling of love for someone (esp. children, sometimes used between people in love with each other).

    And to answer the big question, no, it is not slang.

    Hope it helps

    Like o.h. said, it's not slang. It's baby talk.

    Pechocha is a cheesy way to say Precious or beutiful (preciosa) but it is also a word play in a sexual way, using the root Pechos (breast) to say that somebody has beautiful *******. some guys use it with their girlfriends

    It is slang, and I don't think that anybody would use on a kid without getting in trouble, (at least in Mexico, dont know about south America.)

    Tengo otra palabra... entiendo lo que significa. Mi duda es saber si esto es slang o si es correcto.

    "ahora checo el progreso y te cuento". Verbo "checar" por "check" en inglés. Eso es correcto?

    ¡Claro! Lo correcto sería "(yo) lo chequeo": Diccionario de la lengua española - Edición del Tricentenario

    Me suena mejor así, me parece que la DRAE lo aceptó en 2013. Y viene del inglés Check cómo dice danield.
