Singaporean slang for an attractive woman or girl — chio is Hokkien-rooted Singlish that has fully crossed over into everyday colloquial use in Singapore, especially among younger generations. If someone's called chio, it's a solid compliment on their looks. The word has the casual, affectionate energy of saying someone is cute or hot without it feeling too intense, and it shows up constantly in local social media, dating apps, and group chats.
Did you see the new barista at that cafe? She's super chio — everyone keeps going back just to see her.
