/Sounds like "bahr" (as in "bar") + "BEH" (as in "bed") + "roh" (as in "row")/
A suck-up or brown-noser, someone who flatters the boss or anyone in power just to get on their good side. In Mexico, calling someone a barbero means they are always saying what people want to hear, showing up with coffee at the right moment, laughing at bad jokes, doing whatever it takes for favors. From "hacer la barba," to butter someone up.
“Do not listen to him, he is a total suck-up with the boss.”
“Did you see that brown-noser? He brought the director coffee right before performance reviews.”
