Qué es "mussel"? - AntMexico, Jul 5, 2010

It's a type of fish. - jeezzle, Jul 5, 2010

Es un tipo de pescado. Es asco. - jeezzle, Jul 5, 2010

And why did you write it? :D - AntMexico, Jul 5, 2010

Nuestro diccionario me dijo que "mussel" fue correcto. - jeezzle, Jul 5, 2010

Many urban meanings are not in any dictionary. Just in my mind :P - AntMexico, Jul 5, 2010

Answer 1

Context, Jeezle.

In some places, "choro" means a criminal, a thug.

So it means like "total thug" "complete vandal" or something? Maybe like "scandalous" or something? What about in Mexico? - jeezzle, Jul 5, 2010

100% thug, yes - but I think Morbo's option makes more sense. Depends on who said it where. - Gekkosan, Jul 5, 2010

Answer 4

• ¿Por qué no viniste ayer a la escuela?
• Es que mi abuelita se enfermó y fui a visitarla

• Puro choro, tu ni abuelita tienes.

• Why didn't you come to school yesterday?

• It's because my grandma is sick, and I went to visit her.

• Pure lies / Lier, you don't even have a grandma.

• Odd use of ni there in my opinion. Tu ni tienes una abuelita. It's weird to learn all the switched up forms since you can place so many words in so many different places.

The sentence using "ni" is quite common in my country. ,) - AntMexico, Jul 5, 2010

Is your country Mexico? because if it is then I will try to switch to your way of thinking. - jeezzle, Jul 5, 2010

Yes, 100% Mexican, and know my Spanish very deeply! ;) - AntMexico, Jul 5, 2010

Wow. The last sentence strikes me as really odd too. I trust you, of course, Morbo but it's just so weird for an English speaker. Spanish is really flexible with its syntax, it seems. - 003487d6, Jul 5, 2010
