Go to www.SpeakingLatino.com and click on the little Chilean flag. They have more than 2,000 Chilean slangs explained in English. You can also do a search of a specific word and read some blog articles on Chilean slang. They also have a book called "Speaking Chileno: A Guide to Chilean Slang" by Jared Romey.
Here is the link to the Chilean articles that includes a Filler Words, The Most Important Word in Chile: Huevear (an other alternate ways to write it like weón, gueón) and Chilean Bread Picture Guide with all the names.
Hope this help!
There is a book you can get, "Chilenismos" that you'd probably enjoy.

Well there also is achuntar den the nail on the head, guess bacán great, terrific (people and things) ¿Cachai? Get it? Me pegué la cachada. I got it. ¡Chuta!* Shit! Also, expression of surprise (plz dont use that one ok its bad) ¡dónde la viste! You're kidding! (expression of disbelief) engrupir (a alguien) smoothtalk, talk someone into something (with lies)
Well there is Chingo Bling.
