/Sounds like "peen" (as in "pea") + "TOH" (as in "toll") + "soh" (as in "solo")/
A well dressed, elegant person who clearly cares about their appearance and always looks sharp. In Mexico and Colombia, calling someone "pintoso" is a compliment about their presentation and style. It is the kind of word you use for someone who shows up to a party looking like they spent real time getting ready, and it paid off. Not flashy or over the top, just consistently put together.
“He showed up looking sharp to the party in his new suit.”
“He always looks well dressed, you never see him looking sloppy.”

Choto
In Argentina and Uruguay, a stingy, two-faced, or lowdown person who lets friends down, never chips in, and acts with petty selfishness. Being called choto is a real character indictment, covering both cheapness and general disloyalty.
