Your word isn't here yet

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

/Sounds like "chee" (as in "cheek") + "KEH" (as in "kept") + "roh" (as in "row")/

Meaning

A filthy, messy place full of garbage and disorder that you don't want to set foot in. In Mexico and Spain, your room being a 'chiquero' is a serious indictment, it literally means pigsty, and the comparison is intentional and accurate.

Examples

Clean up that pigsty of a room before your mom gets home.

How can anyone live in that mess, I don't understand.

A Honduran word for a kid, little boy, or child, especially when running around or getting into trouble. It's close to "cipote" but with a Catracho Spanish tone. Used with affection, mild exasperation, or just to describe the kid at home, in the neighborhood, or in town. The word marks regional identity: only Hondurans drop it naturally.
