Gossip, rumor, or unsolicited information about someone else's private life. Chisme is practically a social institution across Latin America — a way to connect, entertain, and sometimes damage reputations.

The official, full public debut of a couple on social media — a clear photo together, names used, maybe even a relationship label. The hard launch leaves no room for interpretation: it's real and they want everyone to know.

Someone who walks everywhere or is always out on the streets roaming around. The patepluma knows every corner of the city because they've covered it all on foot — by choice or necessity.
