Chapusero?? Meanings
 
Hello everyone, I'm looking for the closest translation to this word in English. I originally thought it meant someone that was a cheater, but I've also heard it could be someone that does a job half-ass'd. Please help...:)

Thank you...

I am not spanish, but
like you said it could be one of those words we give several distinctly varied definitions.
I am now interested in how this word is used. [ Chapusero ]

You can also say, he is a chapuzas. In Spain it means sb who doesn´t do his job well, if a builder, or a plumber go to your house, and they don´t fix the job properly, they are called chapuceros.
Sometimes "hacer chapuzas" means to do some jobs on the side to get extra money.

I always thought that a "chapucero" was a "hack" -worst slang meaning: not knowledgeable person who does crappy work-. At least, in my personal dictionary I have => hack = chapucero / improvisado / practicón, señas particulares: torpe

It can also mean "embustero", a liar.
