MOVE OVER CHOLAS, CHONGAS TAKIN OVER

Back in the day my bestest homegirls were Latinas and my favorite movie was Mi Vida Loca. So when I saw this video I was buggin' out!!!! Sharpie lip liner and flea market jewelry for $2.99. (Classic!)These girls reppin' Hialeah (my second home in FL) rocked this video.

What's a Chonga you ask?
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 gangsta look 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, 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 baby daddy. Chongas have a very distinct form of speech, a cross between poorly imitated black slang and a thick Spanish accent, which emphasizes on the vowels. Some Chongas even speak entirely in Spanglish. Here are some sample sentences, and how they would be pronounced in Chonga:

O HELLNAA bish Ima beesho azz, waash! OMAIIGAA!
(Oh hell no bitch, I’m going to beat your ass, watch! Oh my God!)
