In Mexican slang, 'chapulín' refers to a person who changes their political party or beliefs frequently, similar to a 'flip-flopper' in English. The term comes from a type of grasshopper known for its jumping, symbolizing the constant changes of opinion or loyalty.
Examples
- Spanish: No puedes confiar en él, siempre ha sido un chapulín que cambia de partido político cada que puede.
- English: You can't trust him, he's always been a flip-flopper who changes his political party whenever he can.
