I hear the younger group using a phrase "un chorro" my best understanding of it is "like,too much" I find no translation or commentary on this phrase. I think it is a vice of language. your comments please.

A language will change until all its speakers are dead. Like Latin. Younger speakers bring more energy and creativity to their language use. The rest of us are better at refining and polishing what we've practiced for a lifetime. Don't worry though. The young people of today are the old people of tomorrow. They'll get what's coming to them.

It's just slang, it does mean "too much" or "a lot".

Slang mostly used in Mexico, I believe? Also sometimes in Venezuela and Colombia. - ZooZoo, Feb 17, 2011
