I'm thinking they meant "chulo" which means "cute".

A cholo is term implying a Hispanic male that typically dresses in chinos (khahki pants), a wifebeater sleeveless teeshirt or a flannel shirt with only the top buttoned, a hairnet, or with a bandana around the forehead, usually halfway down over the eyes. Cholos often have black ink tattoos, commonly involving Catholic imagery, or calligraphy messages or family names.

Cholos often drive low riders.
A farcical example of a cholo from the movies is Cheech, from Cheech and Chong.

I live in an area which has become predominately Hispanic. Several years ago, an Hispanic friend of mine called someone a cholo. When I asked what she meant by that, she told me that a cholo was a Mexican on the low end of the social ladder. NOT economic. Smart aleck, poor social skills, screwed up notions about relationships.

I am learning from this post. First 'cholo' which I had never heard, but now 'wifebeater teeshirt'. Do you wear one while beating your wife, or beat your wife with a teeshirt? Chollo according to my dictionary is a bargain, and chocho is very rude.
