Join Hablaaa and add the expression no one else has documented.

/Sounds like "cheen" (as in "cheek") + "gah" (as in "garden") + "keh" (as in "kept") + "DEE" (as in "deep") + "toh" (as in "toll")/

Meaning

In Mexico, someone who acts with malicious intent while keeping a low profile, doing harm or causing trouble in a sneaky, subtle way that doesn't look obvious at first glance.

Examples

Don't trust that guy, he's sneaky as hell.

He seems like a decent person but he's totally two-faced.

Regional synonyms

A public transit bus in Mexico. Heads up: in Mexico 'camión' means a passenger bus, not a freight truck like in other countries.
