/Sounds like "CHOOM" (as in "choose") + "boh" (as in "boat")/
A gun, pistol, or any firearm in Uruguayan street slang. Chumbo is Montevideo lunfardo at its most raw, no euphemisms, heard in neighborhoods where the word describes a daily reality rather than a hypothetical.
“They say he was carrying a gun.”
“The police found a firearm hidden in the car.”
