What is a chomo?

It is a term for a child molester. The origin is unclear, but there are two prevailing theories.

One theory is that it likely came from abbreviations on court dockets. So a docket might have the offense listed as "ch. mo." If you try to pronounce that without expanding the Words, it pronounces as "chomo."

Another theory relates to stereotypes and bigotry. Unfortunately, there are people who lump child molesters in with gay people. So it is possible that this slang Word is a portmanteau of child and homosexual.
