So today at work, my boss sent everyone in my department this video. All of a sudden you hear laughter coming around the office. I don't think I have laughed so hard in a weeks!! None of us had ever seen this before, so yes...we are late. BUT OMG it was funny. I could not believe it. It wasn't like amazing or really good, it was just downright funny....and a little wrong. So after watching this funny video...which was great after working hard all day, we asked each other is Chongalicious even a word? What is Chonga? So Liz (my co-worker) gets on the Urban Dictionary and looks it up chonga and it was actually in there!!! We almost died laughing when we read the definition.
In Short:
Chonga is - girl of Hispanic origin, usually between the ages of 12 and 19, but sometimes as young as 8. Primarily found in Miami (most famously, in Hialeah), the chonga is known for her cheap form of dress, a combination of the so-called gangstalook and that of a prostitute, but can vary between the two. She wears ridiculously large hoop earrings large enough to be bracelets, which are usually gold and have their name written in them, and diamond studs high up on her ears. They may also wear thick, gold bangle bracelets in stacks on their arms. Depending on how ghetto she thinks she is, she may wear oversized men's t-shirts with tight, usually white Brazilian pants, with a colored thong worn underneath that shows through (on purpose). The chonga's shoe of choice is usually either the traditional black Reeboks, white Nike Air Force Ones, completely black Converse high tops, velvet black ankle boots, or the most popular, Chinese beaded slippers in the same matching color ad their top, and worn with ankle socks.
So of course after this, everyone in the office took a much needed 10 minute break to look at and send each other other really funny YouTube videos!!
I know a number of offices/companies block sites like YouTube, but I think it is important for people to be able to take a break. We don't have them blocked at our company, and we all work. We don't spend the time surfing the net and wasting time. We get our work done!! So if you don't give you employees some type of outlet, they will start to waste time daydreaming and doing other things. With an outlet like this...we all took a 10 minute laughing break and then it fell silent again and we all got RIGHT BACK TO WORK.
