/Sounds like "bee" (as in "bee") + "CHOH" (as in "chose") + "tah" (as in "tar")/

Meaning

A powerful, boss woman who runs her own life and needs no one's permission. The word comes from Puerto Rican street slang where "bicho" referred to a crime boss, but Karol G turned it into a female empowerment anthem. Now used across Latin America to describe any woman who is thriving, self-sufficient, and fully in control.

Examples

She has three businesses and doesn't owe anything to anyone, she's a total bichota.

I feel unstoppable in this outfit, nobody can touch me.
