From the Spanish root word "chancla," which means "flip flop" (like the cheap shoes). A "chancluda", literally meaning "A female wearing flip flops," but in Mexico, prostitutes pride themselves on their shoes, and a prostitute wearing flip flops is the cheapest, skankiest, sluttiest, nastiest hooker out there because she charges so little (because of her disgusting appearance) that she can only afford to buy flip flops with her meager earnings. Hence, a "chancluda" is a whore of the very lowest standards in Mexico.
One might use the verbiage of: "Your mother is a skanky ass chancluda, bitch." when attempting to insult a spanish-speaking rival.

La chancla

Spanish word for flipflop/sandal/slipper. It's what Hispanic/Latino parents (usually mothers) use to beat their child's ass when they've had it with their misbehaviour.

And don't even try to run, they can throw that thing round a corner like boomerang and if you manage to run out the house then don't expect to be allowed back inside without getting twice the original punishment.
Hispanic/Latina mother: *child's name*, GET OVER HERE NOW.

Kid: Shit, I can already feel la chancla getting spanked round my ass.

Back when I lived in upstate new york 

A meaningless, unimpressive, self-serving introduction. An indicator that the story about to be shared will be pointless and dumb.
Back when I lived in upstate new york, I also had to park on the street - on two occasions, we got enough snow, mixed with just the right plowing, that my car was lifted off the ground from so much snow being jammed underneath it.

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.
