    What is the gypsy etymologized word which means "ugly-bad"?

    Question #89352. Asked by tragic_flawed. (Dec 03 07 7:37 PM)

    		Chungo.
    From the Gypsy word for "ugly" and meaning generally "pretty bad." No translation can get across this word's almost comic sense of disaster. A Spanish joke illustrates the difference between bueno, malo, and chungo ("good," "bad," and "chungo") through a number of life situations.
