Dictionary

cholo
\cho-low\
noun

1. In modern usage in the United States, the term "cholo" usually indicates a person of Mexican, Mexican-American, or Indio descent, who is associated with a particular Southwestern culture. The term is used in Caló slang, but it in turn has infiltrated into mainstream American English use, specifically in association with American youth movements such as the "lowrider" subculture, or the hip hop scene in general. The word is sometimes associated with Hispanic gang culture, especially in popular media, but the origin and history of the modern usage is somewhat complex.
