In various Latin American countries, 'chivo' is slang for 'goat.' However, in some regions such as Central America, it can also mean 'cool' or 'awesome.' In a more context-specific usage, it can refer to a 'scapegoat' or someone who takes the blame.
Examples
- Spanish: 1. Ese carro es muy chivo. 2. Juan se convirtió en el chivo expiatorio de la situación.
- English: 1. That car is very cool. 2. Juan became the scapegoat of the situation.
