In Puerto Rican dialect, charro(or charra if female) is both a noun and an adjective used to describe someone or something that is pathetic or someone who is a jackass(i.e.someone who makes an ass out of him/herself)
A person who has no sense of dignity is considered a charro and something that's tacky or garish can be considered charro as well. It's not a very offensive word but it can be insulting sometimes.
Another derived form of this word is called charreria(jackassery)
"No seas tan charro mijo"
Translation:Don't be such a jackass dude
"Acho, Quitate ese sombrero cabron!Se ve bien charro"
Translation:Jesus, Take off that hat dumbass! It looks so pathetic.
