/Sounds like "ah" (as in "art") + "rroh" + "SEH" (as in "set") + "roh" (as in "row")/

Meaning

Someone who crashes parties and events without being invited, purely to eat and drink for free. In Colombia, the arrocero is an expert at slipping in: they know exactly when to arrive, who to follow through the door, and how to blend in before anyone notices they were never on the list.

Examples

He showed up uninvited to the party and ate everything in sight.

Do not be a freeloader, wait until you are actually invited.
