/Sounds like "chah" (as in "chat") + "pah" (as in "park") + "RREH" + "rahs" (as in "rapper")/

Meaning

In Mexico, the buildup of fat on the outer thighs and hips that sticks out on the sides, often called "saddlebags." One of the most talked-about body areas that's hardest to slim down.

Examples

I lost weight around my waist on the diet but the saddlebags are still there.

Those pants really highlight her outer thighs.

Regional synonyms

A deceptive scheme or dirty play set up to take advantage of someone who never sees it coming. In Mexico, a tramoya happens behind the scenes so the victim loses without understanding what hit them. The word originally meant stage machinery in theater, which captures it perfectly: all the manipulation happens offstage.
