@Elaina: "chamorro" is used as "pantorrilla" only in very colloquial language... at least in Mexico. And Tacuba is right, it comes from the pork's leg.
María tiene buen chamorro. (María has nice legs.)

Pantorrilla will be universally understood. In more formal conversations, be aware that "chamorros" might sound rather weird.
![]() Anyway, most of the times, "chamorros" is used by men to talk about a woman's calves: ¿Ya viste a María con falda? Tiene buenos chamorros. Have you seen María with a skirt on? She has nice calves.
