/Sounds like "choo" (as in "choose") + "MAH" (as in "mark") + "doh" (as in "door")/
Drunk, visibly intoxicated, with clumsy speech and unsteady steps. Used in Bolivia, Argentina, and Uruguay. "Chumado" is not the most extreme level of drunk, but it's clearly past the tipping point: anyone around you can see you've had too much.
“He showed up to the party already wasted, didn't last two hours awake.”
“Don't drive, you're drunk, just sleep here tonight.”

A system of getting jobs or benefits through personal connections, with zero merit involved. In Venezuela enchufismo is the constant complaint of those without the right contacts watching connected people coast through.
