chavala A Calo word (Chicano switch code) to mean a "punk". Used usually to define people who are in a barrio enviroment. Believed to have come from the root form "chava" which in Rural Mexican Spanish means, kid, youth, childish and ect. That vato is a chavala.
Guys..I'm going to dip out of the battles for a minute so I can focus on some other graffiti related stuff. Thanks for maintaining and participating these threads it's been a good way for me to get back into doing graffiti art...
