/Sounds like "TOO" (as in "tool") + "rroh"/
An untrustworthy person who acts in bad faith or uses cunning to get an advantage over others. In Uruguay "turro" can be a direct insult or a resigned description of someone known for operating outside the bounds of honesty. Buyer beware.
“That shady guy charged me double knowing I didn't have change.”
“Don't sign anything without getting advice first: that person is known to be a crook.”

Chirrete
A person who looks sloppy, has no class, and behaves in a vulgar or trashy way. In Colombia, calling someone chirrete is a harsh label for someone who comes across as low class and unkempt, both in appearance and attitude. It's similar to calling someone "trashy" or "ghetto" in English.
