¡Chungo!

A useful Spanish slang word which covers a multitude of problems. You can use it when something is broken, awkward, bad or is a nuisance. The electricity goes off just as you are in the middle of surfing the net- Se ha cortado la luz, he perdido la conexión. ¡Chungo!

PS be aware that the word has both masculine and feminine forms i.e. chungo - chunga. So, if you are using it as an adjective to describe something as bad you need to know which gender the noun it refers to is.

e.g. Mi coche es muy chungo - Mi moto es muy chunga
