Bandera de Colombia

/Sounds like 'CHOO-roh'/

Good-looking, attractive, fine — a compliment for physical appearance in Colombia, especially in the Pacific region. Calling someone churo is telling them they're genuinely attractive, and in places like Cali it's a common, affectionate compliment.

Example

"¡Ese churo me tiene loca!"

"Quedaste churo con ese outfit. → That fine guy has me going crazy!"

"You look great in that outfit."
