/Sounds like "chee" (as in "cheek") + "bee" (as in "bee") + "REE" (as in "reed") + "koh" (as in "coat")/
A clever, resourceful person who knows how to navigate difficult situations and always finds a way through. In Cuba, a chivirico does not need perfect conditions to succeed, they have enough street smarts and ingenuity to get by no matter the circumstances.
“That clever guy always finds a way to get what he wants, I have no idea how he does it.”
“You have to be resourceful to get by here without burning any bridges.”
