In certain parts of Northern California and the Southwest, "Cholo" is a derrogatory and/or racist remark used by non-Hispanics and Chicanos alike. For racists, it defines the Hispanic people and culture as a whole. For Americanized Hispanics, it can mean something akin to a Hick Mexican- Someone that has recently crossed the border and is ignorant to both U.S. and Mexican-American culture. It also is commonly used to imply a Hispanic gangster type. For all intensive purposes though, it can be implied as a racial identifier/a racist comment and should be avoided in conversation. In other words- calling the wrong person a Cholo could warrant a severe beating.
"Don't park you car there overnight. That's where all of the Cholos live."

A word now used in terms of excitement - much like "Alright!", "Whoa!", "Yikes!", or "Heck Yeah!". Originally taken from scradish mythology, a Cholo has been said to be a mythical bear-like beast legend similar to Big Foot with buggy eyes, perhaps. These creatures have been noted to wear ties, grit their teeth, and defecate & urinate in the place they stand when sited. When a Cholo is sited, the spotter would yell “Cholo!!!!” in excitement – and thus was derived the modern meaning. Some speculate that Cholos are not real beasts and that they may simply be office workers caught off-guard in bear costumes.
Oh chollo!! I just had an accident all over the floor.
