chulo

/ˈt͡ʃulo/ · B2 · adj

cocky

🎀 chulo sounds like 'CHOO-low': a cute, cocky guy who looks lovely and acts low

Say 'CHOO-low': a chulo is cute or cool (a nifty thing), but also cocky, flashy and a bit vulgar. The same swagger gives the rascal and pimp senses, where someone is pretty on the surface but a little low in character.
