/Sounds like "MOH" (as in "more") + "choh" (as in "chose")/
A very conservative, uptight person, especially in religious or moral matters. In Mexico, the word carries historical weight: "mochos" were those who sided with the clergy against Reform-era laws in the 19th century. Today it describes anyone rigid, prudish, or quick to be scandalized by anything outside a narrow moral line.
“Do not tell him that joke, he is super uptight and will get offended.”
“The conservative crowd in town complained to the priest about the theater play.”
/Sounds like "MOH" (as in "more") + "choh" (as in "chose")/
An overly conservative or excessively religious person who censors everything they consider immoral. A mocho is never happy with popular culture, always finds something objectionable, and will tell you about it without being asked.
“Don't tell him that joke, he's very prudish.”
“The prudes in the neighborhood complain about everything.”

In Colombia, a neutral, catch-all word for a guy, a man, or just some person. It carries no strong positive or negative charge on its own; the tone depends entirely on context and delivery. Think "dude" or "that guy" in English.
