A person who pretends to be something they're not, faking wealth, class, or status without actually having any of it. In Mexico, the 'chafón' puts on a show of sophistication that falls apart under scrutiny: the designer knockoff, the rental car for the photo, the borrowed lifestyle.
“He acts like he's rich but he's all fake.”
“Don't be a fraud, nobody believes you anyway.”

Panchero
A drama queen, someone who makes a huge scene over the smallest things. In Mexico and Argentina, a panchero turns a glass of water into a tsunami. They exaggerate everything and love being the center of attention during any conflict.
