chino
/ˈt͡ʃino/ · A2 · adj
curly
🐩 Suena a chino = sounds like Chinese: Spanish for it is all Greek to me
Chino literally means Chinese, so unintelligible talk is chino, the way English says Greek. In Mexico the same word means curly-haired, and in some regions it also means fed up or having little body hair. One word, several regional senses.
