/Sounds like "chah" (as in "chat") + "mah" (as in "mark") + "GOH" (as in "go") + "soh" (as in "solo")/

Meaning

Dirty, grimy, and visibly unkempt. In Mexico, something chamagoso looks permanently stained and unwashed, like it has never seen soap.

Examples

The kid came home totally chamagoso from playing in the dirt all afternoon.

Regional synonyms

To drive someone absolutely crazy or make them lose their patience completely. The phrase comes from "quicio," the hinge frame that keeps a door in place: when something pushes you out of your quicio, you are totally destabilized. Used across Argentina, Chile, and Uruguay.
