Sifrino
A Venezuelan person with aristocratic airs, snob, or upper-class who marks distance from others through how they talk, dress, and behave. "Qué sifrino ese tipo" means how pretentious. Used critically: sifrinos are those living in privileged Caracas zones, speaking with a specific accent and showing disdain for popular things. A word from lower class toward upper class, with a dose of humor.
