My Mexican boys “friends” are always saying chonga or cha conga...and I never get a straight answer as to what it means. They say it's a funny way to say que honda, but then use it in a sentence that doesn’t apply.

This is what I get from the Urban Dictionary:

A girl of Hispanic origin, usually between the ages of 12 and 19, but sometimes as young as 8. Primarily found in Miami (most famously, in Hialeah), the chonga is known for her cheap form of dress, a combination of the so-called gangstalook and that of a prostitute, but can vary between the two. She wears ridiculously large hoop earrings large enough to be bracelets, which are usually gold and have their name written in them, and diamond studs high up on her ears. They may also wear thick, gold bangle bracelets in stacks on their arms. Depending on how ghetto she thinks she is, she may wear oversized men's t-shirts with tight, usually white Brazilian pants, with a colored thong worn underneath that shows through (on purpose). The chonga's shoe of choice is usually either the traditional black Reeboks, white Nike Air Force Ones, completely black Converse high tops, velvet black ankle boots, or the most popular, Chinese beaded slippers in the same matching color ad their top, and worn with ankle socks. Most recently, Chongas have begun listening to reggaeton

Chongalicious is a 2007 homemade music video performed by Laura DiLorenzo and Mimi Davila (both born in 1990), who were drama students at Dr. Michael M. Krop High School in Aventura, Florida. The song is a parody of Fergie's 2006 hit song "Fergalicious". It focuses on the term "chonga," a slang term first coined in Miami-Dade County describing a stereotypical way of dressing and behaving among Hispanic girls in Hialeah, FL.
