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.

Regional synonyms
Bandera de México
Bandera de Argentina
Cagadero

A large wardrobe or armoire for storing clothes. In Argentina and several other countries, the ropero is a household staple: the piece of furniture where you hang, fold, and quietly accumulate far more clothes than you will ever actually wear.
