/Sounds like 'chee-mol-TROO-fyah'/
A tacky, low-class woman with vulgar tastes and no sense of style or decorum. In Mexico the word comes from a comedy show character, and it stuck as the go-to term for someone who embodies bad taste from head to toe. It's a sharp insult, especially among women.
"Se vistió toda chimoltrufia para la boda. → "She showed up to the wedding looking totally tacky."
"No seas chimoltrufia, ten un poco de clase. → "Don't be so low-class — have a little dignity."
