A small,
red, parasitic insect that can cause much irritation, especially when it sets up home in your private area.
The politically correct
name for a chigger is "chegro," though there is a movement in some quarters for them to be called "
red parasitic Americans."
Johnny: "Damn, these chiggers are driving me
nuts. My yard is filled with them."
Fred: "Chegros."
Johnny: "Huh??"
Fred: "The correct
name is 'chegro.' You should have said, 'these chegros are driving me
nuts.'"
Johnny: Hey Fred, come take a walk through my back yard with me."
