/Sounds like "choos" (as in "choose") + "KEH" (as in "kept") + "roh" (as in "row")/

Meaning

A vulgar, crude person with no social graces who demonstrates it loudly in every situation. In Colombia the chusquero always proves the point with their actions no matter what the setting is.

That restaurant caters to really trashy clientele.

Regional synonyms

In Paraguay, a Guaraní word meaning old or ancient, used to describe people, objects, or things from another era. The tone shifts depending on context: "ese tuja" can be an affectionate nickname for a grandfather or a lighthearted jab at a beat-up old car. Much like "viejo" in Mexican Spanish, the warmth or mockery lives in how you say it.
