/CHAR-oh-lah-zoh/
In Mexico, a bribe requested by a police officer showing their badge, implying you can fix the situation on the spot. This is the bribe in action, without words.
"The traffic stopped me and I knew the bribe was coming."
"I'd rather pay the fine than fall for the bribe."
/Sounds like 'chah-ro-LAH-so'/
A flash of police credentials to get something done or bypass rules. Also used for a cash bribe given to an officer to avoid a ticket or trouble. The charolazo is the unofficial currency of street-level negotiations.
"They flashed their badge at the officer so he'd let them through."
"A well-placed bribe solved the whole situation."
