Chupino

A chupino (sometimes spelled xupino) is a derogatory term primarily used in some regions of Mexico to refer to an individual perceived as overly concerned with appearances, trends, and material possessions, especially those associated with American or Western culture. The term carries connotations of superficiality, inauthenticity, and a lack of genuine connection to Mexican traditions. The pejorative usage implies that the individual is trying too hard to emulate foreign ideals and values, often at the expense of their own cultural identity. The specific meaning and intensity of the insult can vary depending on the region and context of its use.
