I read in a document of Dr sam colop. that is said chonte the first policemen to be originating in a place called Chontal part of tabasco, that by his size were wanted for this job
chontes say officials in Guatemala
It is a way of saying fool or clueless but in a way not so rude joke, but more mild or infant. It also said chonton, as tontolon. menso, silly, innocent, clueless
