/Sounds like "chahm" (as in "chat") + "beh" (as in "bed") + "ah" (as in "art") + "DOH" (as in "door") + "rah" (as in "rapper")/

Meaning

In Mexico, a hardworking woman who puts in the effort without waiting for anyone to hand her anything. A genuine compliment. It comes from "chamba" (work or job), so a chambeadora is always grinding, always has something going on, and never sits still.

Examples

My mom is a total hustler, you never see her sitting still.

That girl is a real hard worker, she has three jobs and never complains.

Regional synonyms

Currante

Someone who got a job, privilege or position through connections rather than merit. In Mexico and Spain an enchufado is plugged in, it's not what you know but who you know.
