/Sounds like "choon" (as in "choose") + "CHOON" (as in "choose") + "koh" (as in "coat")/
In Honduras and El Salvador, an extremely stingy person who refuses to spend a single cent no matter the situation. The chunchunco grips every coin so tightly it practically disappears.
“That miser never buys anyone so much as a coffee.”
“Don't be so cheap, buy something for the get-together.”
