/Sounds like "cha" (as in "cha-cha") + "poo" + "LEEN"/
A treacherous friend who makes moves on his buddy's girlfriend or ex. The chapulín (literally "grasshopper") is the guy who acts all friendly to your face but behind your back is already sliding into your girl's DMs, taking advantage of being in the same social circle. It is one of the worst things you can call a male friend in Mexico because it implies a deep betrayal of trust and bro code.
"Cuidado con ese wey, es bien chapulín. -> Watch out for that dude, he's a total backstabber with girls."
"Resultó chapulín, apenas tronamos y ya la estaba invitando a salir. -> He turned out to be a chapulín, we barely broke up and he was already asking her out."

Al rato
En un momento, más tarde, eventualmente y sin hora exacta en México. Es esa promesa temporal mexicana donde 'al rato' puede significar en diez minutos o en tres horas, nadie lo sabe con certeza.
