/Sounds like "choh" (as in "chose") + "REE" (as in "reed") + "soh" (as in "solo")/
A thief or crook in Spain, from the street pickpocket all the way up to the corrupt politician. In a country where chorizo is also a beloved cured sausage, the word does double duty. Calling a politician a chorizo in Spain is practically standard practice at this point.
“That politician is a total crook, just look at his bank accounts.”
“My bike got stolen in ten seconds flat, what a thief.”
