Meaning of cuento chimbo




furoya

cuento chimbo
  13

It would be just a "chimbo tale", "a false story". As mentioned in the field of Synonyms by the colleague Jorge Luis Tovar Díaz, there may be a parallel with the expression "Chinese tale", not only because they sound similar but because in addition to "false, incomplete, of poor quality", the word chimbo in Quechua means "on the other side, of the other band", perhaps by the peoples called chimbos, and that can also be interpreted as "distant place".

  




Danilo Enrique Noreña Benítez

In Colombia it means outright falsehood, lie, falasy.

  


Jorge Luis Tovar Díaz

In popular jargon a chimbo tale is a lie, a fallacy.
