/Sounds like "sah" (as in "salsa") + "fah" (as in "far") + "RRAHN" + "choh" (as in "chose")/
A sudden brawl, chaotic mess, or situation that explodes out of control fast. In Mexico and Central America, a zafarrancho can be a fistfight at a party or just total disorder, the moment when things go completely sideways.
“Se armó un zafarrancho en la cantina y tuvieron que llamar a la policía.”
“A huge brawl broke out at the bar and they had to call the police.”
“That mess of papers won't let anyone work.”
