/Sounds like "trahm" (as in "tract") + "POH" (as in "port") + "soh" (as in "solo")/

Meaning

A cheater, someone who consistently bends or breaks the rules without any guilt. Whether it's a card game, an exam, or a relationship, the "tramposo" always looks for shortcuts even at someone else's expense. It implies a pattern, not just a one-time slip.

Examples

Don't play cards with him, he's a total cheater.

Three students got suspended for cheating on the midterm.

To snitch, rat someone out, or spill a secret you were supposed to keep. Used in Argentina and Uruguay, often ironically: the person who talks the most about staying quiet is usually the first to chotear.
