A girl of Hispanic origin, usually between the ages of 12 and 19, but sometimes as young as 8. Primarily found in Miami (most famously, in Hialeah), the chonga is known for her cheap form of dress, a combination of the so-called gangstalook and that of a prostitute, but can vary between the two. She wears ridiculously large hoop earrings large enough to be bracelets, which are usually gold and have their name written in them, and diamond studs high up on her ears. They may also wear thick, gold bangle bracelets in stacks on their arms. Depending on how ghetto she thinks she is, she may wear oversized men's t-shirts with tight, usually white Brazilian pants, with a colored thong worn underneath that shows through (on purpose). The chonga's shoe of choice is usually either the traditional black Reeboks, white Nike Air Force Ones, completely black Converse high tops, velvet black ankle boots, or the most popular, Chinese beaded slippers in the same matching color ad their top, and worn with ankle socks. Most recently, Chongas have begun listening to reggaeton, but also enjoy rap, R&B, and the radio stations that play these genres of music. They can also be heard frequently calling these stations to make "shout-outs" to their babydaddy. Chongas have a very distinct form of speech, a cross between poorly imitated black slang and a thick Spanish accent, which emphasizes on the vowels. Some chongas even speak entirely in Spanglish. Here are some sample sentences, and how they would be pronounced in Chonga:
Eyy yu no daa kih in fahrs pihreeuh OMAIIGA daaaaaaaaaaaaam he faaeeen!(Hey, you know that kid in first period, oh my God, damn he’s fine!)
Eyy yu go-eentu Maariisleyseesiz quinceson Fraidei?(Hey,are you going to Marisleysise’s quince on Friday?)
O HELLNAA bish Ima beesho azz, waash! OMAIIGAA!(Oh hell no bitch, I’m going to beat your ass, watch! Oh my God!)
The Chonga also has a distinct form of writing as well, whether it be on bathroom stalls or their Myspace pages. A typical chonga-vandalized school bathroom stall (or wall, or classroom desk, or school bus seat, or most any other form of public property) would consist of poorly imitated graffiti in permanent marker or whiteout, usually insulting a rival chonga, warning fellow chongas to “Bak da Fuk Off”, “claiming” a fantasy crush, (for example Nelly, Bow Wow, Chris Brown, Ludacris, Chingy Lil Wayne, Daddy Yankee, etc., referring to themselves as the rapper’s “wifey” or “baby girl” or “fine Rican mami”), or simply tagging, using nicknames such as “Baby Girl” or “Brownie” or “Tweety” or “Rican Mami”. However, being the unique individuals they are, they tend to write F’s backwards, I’s (ii) double, S’s accompanied by a Z (Sz), and when typing, lowercase q’s substituted for g’s (BaBii qiiRl) or 3’s for e’s (N3LLySzi RiiCaN PRiiNC3Sz). Examples of this (written either on public property or online) would be:
N3LLySz LiiL WiiF3y –N-MiiSz Tw33Ty --> Yall hATaSz BaKK oFF,LuDaSz BaBii qURl,Tw33Ty N SzNiicK3rSz
The chonga may also have a special nickname for her real-life boyfriend,a chongo who may go by the name of Mauricio or Junior or Angel or Juan, but whom she affectionately calls Cio or Coco or Snickers or Scooby.Chongas may be found riding Metro buses, the chonga vehicle of choice, in groups of 4 to up to 15 of their kind, if her cousin Kenneth is not available to give her a ride to the “flea” (explained later) on the handlebars of his stolen tricycle. Chongas can be seen at the flea market (or "flea"),Dolphin Mall, roaming the streets of Hialeah, around basketball courts, public parks, or in their cousin Junior’s bedroom.

n. a girl, particularily of hispanic origin, that wears hoop earrings big enough to fit your arm through, big shirts and really small, tight shorts. Her shoes would most likely be really big sneakers, such as men's basketball shoes. Her hair would be worn very tightly gelled on her scalp, looking as though it would cut circulation. She probably outlines her lips with lip liner, but doesn't use any lipstick.

Chongas wear their hair pasted down with gel in the front, usualy parted straight down the center, in a zig-zag line, to the side, or half to the side and half down the center, seperated by a thin hairband, colored to match their shirt, or in a ponytail or half-up ponytail slicked back with tubs of grease.They may wear lipliner and eyeliner, and can be seen applying lipgloss from thick, greasy tubes, however, are not to be confused with cholas. Depending on how ghetto she thinks she is, she may wear oversized men's t-shirts with tight, usually white Brazilian pants, with a colored thong worn underneath that shows through (on purpose).

In a nutshell:
-A Chonga (shown-guh) is typically a Hispanic girl from Miami, Florida who expresses a desire for regard as ghetto and the admiration of chongos through her form of dress and speech.
The Chonga wears:
-Oversized gold or silver hoop earrings, most likely with her name (or sexy, or baby girl) written in them, nameplate necklaces, an abundance of gold or silver costume jewellery
-Brazilian pants- skin-tight, low riding jeans that appear to be painted on, and are sometimes adorned with rhinestones or strategically placed cut-out slits; the most popular color among Chongas for Brazilian pants is white.
-Spandex tank tops, oversized solid color t-shirts
-Tupac (or 2Pac) t-shirts
-Reebok, Jordan, and Converse sneakers
-Meticulously color coordinated outfits
-Black, Nike drawstring bags
-The occasional blue or green contact lenses
The Chonga wears her hair:
-In wet, tight curls, the front (bangs) gelled down and hidden behind the ears
-Partly cornrowed
-Adorned with a thin headband at the very front of her hairline
-In a tight ponytail or half updo, slathered with gel
-Flat ironed for special occasions
-Dyed auburn, black, or blonde
The Chonga speaks:
-A distinct mix of poorly imitated Ebonics and heavily accented Spanglish, with emphasis on vowels, freely throwing around the words pero (Spanish for but), nigga, bitch, shit, and daaaaaaaaaaaaaaym
The Chonga writes:
-juSzTT LiiK diiSz’ s00 yAll hAttASz’ bESzTT bAkk 0FF AiiT’
The Chonga likes:
-R&B, rap and reggaeton
-Pitt Bull, Tupac, T.I., Lil Wayne, Daddy Yankee
-The flea market (or,“the flea”), the fair (when in town), malls, clubs, basketball courts, public parks and buses, the streets of Hialeah
-Fighting fellow chongas over chongos
-Posing for a gallery full of borderline pornographic Myspace photos
Contrary to popular belief:
-A Chonga is not a Chola.
-The vast majority of Chongas (that is, about 98% of them) actually do not wear Sharpie-drawn eyebrows with peaks higher than Mount Everest. The myth proliferated when a picture of two Cholas with sky high cartoon/witch/madman arches trekked its way through Myspace.
-The practice of lining one’s lips with chocolate brown lip liner has, for the most part, died out in the Chonga community. Lipliner, which had its Chonga heyday from the mid to late 1990s, has been dumped for another, newer mouth accessory- grillz. Increasingly popular with the Chonga are gold or diamond grillz worn on the bottom row of her teeth.
-While the majority of Chongas continue to wear their signature tight, gelled down ponytail, a large percentage has apparently neglected the hairstyle due to its exploitation recent ridicule of the Chonga subculture.
-Chongas are well and alive beyond Miami; spot them in New York, New Jersey and virtually every metropolitan area in the States

Tending to have overly manicured nails the size of their face as well. They tend to use scrunchies as clothing to reveal every inch of their body leaving nothing to your imagination. Having to buy bottle of hair gel and hair spray every week to maintain their bangs plastered to their foreheads while haivng it pulled back in a tight, usually high ponytail while having the loose end in curls, which tend to be natural. They can been seen at times with belly rings containing cherries or some sort of obscenely slutty reference. their cell phones can be seen with covers containing the emblem of Louis Vuitton, Baby Phat, Chanel, or any other brand which may seem expensive.

A girl (mainly a Hispanic girl) who has their eyebrows drawn in, and lip liner up to their nostrils. They often wear social security jewerly (they contain so much information on them ex. baby, sexy, mama, and sometimes even their name). They wear tight brazilian jeans, white or black, with a bright thong that sticks out. They have more gel than they do hair, because their hair is often damaged from dying it since they were two years old. They sport the Ivy Queen nails (longer than their own fingers), and wear more make-up than MAC can produce. A chongo is the male equivalent of a chonga.
