/Sounds like "tee" (as in "tea") + "rah" (as in "rapper") + "DEE" (as in "deep") + "toh" (as in "toll")/

Meaning

Examples

The tiradito from the Surquillo street stall is Lima's best.

Regional synonyms

A treacherous friend who makes moves on his buddy's girlfriend or ex. The chapulín (literally "grasshopper") acts loyal and friendly to your face while sliding into your girl's DMs behind your back. In Mexico, being called a chapulín is one of the worst accusations in the bro code because it implies a calculated betrayal from inside the circle.
