/Sounds like "CHOO" (as in "choose") + "koh" (as in "coat")/
Dirty, gross, or in terrible condition, whether talking about a person, a place, or a thing. In El Salvador and Honduras, chuco is the go-to word for anything physically repulsive. The scale goes from mildly grimy to truly disgusting depending on tone.
“Don't eat that, it's gross.”
“That guy is completely filthy, he urgently needs a shower.”

Papaya
Vulva or female genitals in Cuba and Venezuela. This is a word that can cause extremely awkward situations if you do not know the double meaning, since in most other countries "papaya" just means the tropical fruit. Asking for papaya in Havana will get you some very surprised looks.
