Bandera de España

/Sounds like 'cha-poo-SEH-ro'/

In Spain, someone who does sloppy, half-finished work with no regard for quality. A chapucero always looks busy but the results are consistently terrible — the handyman who makes everything worse.

Example

"Don't hire him, he's a total hack and he'll ruin everything."

"They did a sloppy job and we had to redo the whole thing."
