/Sounds like "chah" (as in "chat") + "poo" (as in "pool") + "LEEN" (as in "lead")/
A politician who switches parties whenever it suits them. They jump from one side to another just like the insect, with no ideology or loyalty, only looking for whichever position gives them the most benefit.
“That guy is already on his third party. Total political hopper.”
“Party-jumpers do not vote by conviction. They vote for whoever pays them.”
/Sounds like "chah" (as in "chat") + "poo" (as in "pool") + "LEEN" (as in "lead")/
A treacherous friend who makes moves on his buddy's girlfriend or ex. The chapulín (literally "grasshopper") acts loyal and friendly to your face while sliding into your girl's DMs behind your back. In Mexico, being called a chapulín is one of the worst accusations in the bro code because it implies a calculated betrayal from inside the circle.
“Watch out for that guy, he makes moves on his friends' girls.”
“He turned out to be a chapulín: we barely broke up and he was already asking her out.”

Bicho malo nunca muere
A saying that means troublemakers, corrupt people, and bad actors always seem to survive and never face real consequences. Used with resignation or dark humor across Central America and Mexico when someone shady keeps landing on their feet no matter what they do.
