Bandera de Colombia

/chi-cha-RON/

A complicated, tangled problem that you don't know how to approach or where to even begin unraveling. In Colombia chicharrón is also the crispy fried pork skin, but the everyday chicharrón is a mess of a whole different kind.

Example

"This whole contract situation is a real mess."

"You got yourself into a real tangle by getting involved in that business."

Regional synonyms:

A lie, a tall tale, or a completely made-up story in Paraguay. Something so fake you can smell the BS from a mile away — pure fiction disguised as truth.
