Bandera de Guatemala
Bandera de Honduras

/SHU-te/

A nosy, gossipy person who inserts themselves into other people's business. In Guatemala and Honduras, a 'shute' is the classic neighborhood busybody — always listening at doors, repeating what they shouldn't, and showing up uninvited where they don't belong.

Example

"Don't be a shute, that's none of your business."

"That nosy woman already told everyone at work."
