charro

A traditional Mexican horseman who excels in charrería, a competitive equestrian event. They are recognized by their skill in handling horses and cattle, and for their iconic attire consisting of a wide-brimmed hat and a gala suit with silver buttons. (Charrería is the national sport of Mexico, similar to a rodeo.)

For the Revolution Day parade, my cousin put on his charro suit and took his best horse out.

Used to describe a person, joke, or situation that is cheesy, lame, or cringey. It applies to things that try too hard to be funny but fall flat, causing secondhand embarrassment because they are corny or lack wit.

Bro, stop telling those charro jokes; nobody in the group finds them funny anymore.
