Your word isn't here yet

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

/Sounds like "chohm" (as in "chose") + "PEE" (as in "pea") + "rahs" (as in "rapper")/

Meaning

A rude, disrespectful, or shameless person who acts without any regard for others. In Mexico, a 'chompiras' is the kind of person who does something wrong and walks away like it never happened.

Examples

That jerk bumped into the car next to him and left without a note.

Don't be a chompiras, return what isn't yours.
