Used in several countries of Latin America (previously thought to have originated in Buenos Aires). Also spelled chamullo and the verb infinitive can be chamullar or chamuyar. Among the various shades of meaning, it commonly signifies speaking on a subject with a pretense of authority, when in reality the speaker is simply inventing, or "bullshitting." It can also mean "sweet talk" such as when a guy is "talking trash" to a girl, saying nothing of substance, for the purpose of socializing. Although these uses are largely Spanish and Pocho slang, "chamuyo" appears to be making inroads into English slang. On Chamuyo Seven years ago I organized a "tango chamuyo" for English-speakers in Bar Academia on Callao. Anyone could drop by for a two-hour chat. I decided to use the same title for my blog about the milongas and milongueros. I have always understood the term to mean "chat" and that is the context in which I use it. If you refer to the Lunfardo dictionary in English, you will find these definitions on page 39: Chamuyar: to chat, to whisper Chamuyo: conversation from: tango in her eyes.blogspot.com |
