cholo

A Mexican gangster. Other definitions say this is untrue, and that cholo means only means mestizo. However, since this is an "urban" dictionary where the idea is to communicate the colloquial, everyday meaning used in contemporary society, the correct meaning is mexican gangster.

I was going to go to 7-11, but I decided not to when I saw the group of Cholos standing on the street corner.

cholo

In Peru: peasant or indian, in a somewhat degrading way because it implies being simple minded. Can also be used affectionately between friends.

In Peru it has no 'gangster' connotation.

friends: Que tal cholo! / Habla cholo!
insult: Mira el cholo bloqueando la calle con su burro!

Not a gangster, but a mexican gangster. I don't get where all these white boys think that a cholo is a gangster. Its a mexican gangster.
