What is a Chonga?
A girl of Hispanic origin, usually between the ages of 12 and 19, but sometimes as young as 8. Primarily found in largely Hispanic cities in America (such as Los Angleles), but are most common 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. They also wear tight shirts that reach their belly ring that say, ” Baby Girl” or “I love my Papi Chulo.” 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 as their top, and worn with ankle socks. Most recently, Chongas have begun listening to reggaeton, but also enjoy rap, R&B, and the radio stations that play these genres of music. They can also be heard frequently calling these stations to make “shout-outs” to their babydaddy.
