Chalupa
I bring up this word because I can think of at least 4 definitions for it. I think, depending on the country and am curious to read if others in the forum are aware of its different meanings

I think I'm mainly familiar with two meanings. One, a canoe-like boat, and two, the food. Apparently chalupas también son un tipo de calzado en Argentina.

In Spain Chalupas y Chalupos are men and women dressed up in traditional garb for a specific holiday. Unfortunately I cannot remember which holiday this is done for. I hope Gemma, Sosia or Alfonso know. It's not in RAE

Poli, try in the DRAE chulapo, chulapa for that nuance.
This wasn´t done for a specific holyday, but it's the traditional costume and people of Madrid. It dates back not long ago, to the XIX century. The only meaning I knew for chalupa is canoe.

Poli, the word Chalupa, I give you my own opinion about it, look, In Mexico the Chalupa is a type of food, very delicius it's made with meat, and tomato salsa, and it's very bought in my city called Carmen, Campeche, and the word Chalupa also is a Electric piece.
I hope my own opinion be of helpful for you. Have a good week.

chulapa was written. A chalupa (besides being a canoe) is a fried Mexican tortilla (corn dough) with spicey garnishing on top of it. Is chulapa/chulapo another word for Manolo and Manuela?

Agree with Alfonso. I only know chalupa as a little boat, and chulapo/a as a inhabitant of Madrid with typical costume.

I'm sorry, I expressed this really bad. This is what I meant (more or less):Yes, they are also called manolos y manolas. And we in Madrid are also called gatos.
