What does chungo mean?

ExpressionColoquial

rough, dodgy, tricky

A catch-all word for things that are off: a difficult situation, a dodgy neighbourhood, suspect food, somebody you would not trust. Very Spanish, very common, and always negative.

El examen estaba chungo de verdad.
Harder than expected, and not in a good way.
