Get the cholo mug.
A subcultural form of Mexicans that were born in the US.
Their behavior is dominated by their ignorant way of speaking spanish and english at the same time, and act like pseudo-gangsters.
A cultural icon that makes the Mexican culture look like a bunch of ingnorant, ghetto and inferior culture, that uses an undeveloped form of language which is vulgarly denominated as Spanglish.

In Ecuador, used to describe a person that is low class, has very little education, and ussually very little money. Different from a mexican cholo, it does not imply any gangster behavior. The mexican slang equivalent is a naco. Cholos speak differently than the rest of the ecuadorian population, they mispronounce many words and use their own slang.
