What does chulo mean?

Question

What does chulo mean? I googled it and I see it means either a pimp or an dandified man... Someone told me that it could also mean handsome man.. this is what his Mexian friends have told him. Is that true? Thanks

Answer 1

oooooooooh it can mean so many things, but usually it means "pimp" or "gangsta".  It's just a fun word to call someone, it's not derogatory.  Its like Mexican street slang.    

Answer 2

It's usually used to describe a man that is a "pretty boy" a "pimp" kind of a guy that gets all the girls... it's not really a bad thing to be called:)

Answer 3

Chulo in Mexican slang refers to someone who is cute, hot, good looking etc

Answer 4

Papi Chulo is loosely translated into "Cool" or "Handsome."  Sometimes it can be taken as "Pimp."  In my experience it is good to be called a chulo.  Just don't be called a culo.
