A blended-word label for an adult who dresses and acts like someone much younger — from chavo ("young person") plus ruco (a dismissive word for "old person") — describing the specific archetype of an older person clinging visibly to youth-coded fashion and behavior.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
"Mi tío se compró patineta a los 55, está bien chavorruco."
LORE & ORIGIN
A Mexican Spanish neologism documented since roughly the 2010s, formally analyzed by the Academia Mexicana de la Lengua as a blend of chavo (a young person who dresses and acts according to current trends) and ruco (a derogatory term for an elderly person), producing a single word for the specific archetype of someone who won't age out of youth culture.
