Usage Note
Buchón (feminine buchona) is Mexican slang, especially from Sinaloa, for someone who flaunts narco-culture wealth — flashy clothes, jewellery, trucks — or merely styles themselves that way. It is informal and usually derogatory, evoking the estilo buchón aesthetic. It is not a general word for an informer (that is soplón or chivato).
Examples
"Se viste como un buchón."
Natural Translation
He dresses like a flashy narco.
