If you’ve ever asked a Mexican whether it’s cold enough for a chaqueta or asked a Cuban to pass a bollo at dinner, you’ll know that Latino slang terms can vary from country to country, region to region, generation to generation, a reality that often results in embarrassing situations. Guanabee Glossary is our attempt to teach you Latino slang and save you from looking like a weird-ass fool in mixed company. Enjoy it, cabrones.
chorro
[cho-rrroh] noun
This word is particularly dangerous because of the different meanings it can hold depending on region. In Argentina, this word can be used to mean “thief.” It is also commonly used to refer to a large splashing or streaming of flowing liquid or a jet. Additionally, it is used to describe diarrhea.
Voy a tomar un chorrito en el baño.
I’m going to have a drink of flowing tap water / have a stream of diarrhea in the bathroom.

Chorro; not to be confused with Churro.
Although one often goes with the other if you make the mistake of buying them in the subway.
