cholo 

Chicano slang meaning "troublemaker". Groups beyond Chicanos have become familiar with the term and may use it.

Specific fashions might be adopted by people seeking to project a "cholo" image, but no particular appearance is necessary to be a troublemaker or cholo.

<i>Zoot suiters might think they are being so cool, but with the war on they are just being a bunch of cholos.</i>
