/Sounds like 'choh-REE-soh'/
A thief or dishonest person in Spain — someone who steals or cuts corners at everyone else's expense. In a country where chorizo is also a beloved cured sausage, the word pulls double duty as both a snack and a slur. Calling a politician a chorizo in Spain is basically standard practice.
"Le robaron la cartera, ¡menudos chorizos! → "They stole his wallet — what a bunch of thieves!"
"Ese político es un chorizo de los grandes. → "That politician is a first-class crook."
