The first word that sounds familiar was chonte, yes, a woman of lose
morals, spoken in the family about some other persons, who were not
necessarily prostitutes.
And zazavagiv reminds me of the Romanian "zarzavagiu", a man who sells
vegetables, I remember in my youth in Bucharest they would walk the
streets, carrying bags or baskets with vegetables, shouting out loud
"zarzavagiu" to attract attention...And yoghurt sellers cried "iaurgiu".
