/Sounds like "kohm" (as in "coat") + "pah" (as in "park") + "DREE" (as in "dreary") + "toh" (as in "toll")/
A neighborhood tough who struts around acting brave and threatening but has nothing real behind the posturing. In Argentine and Uruguayan lunfardo, the compadrito is a classic figure tied to early tango culture: the flashy brawler who intimidates on his block but is ultimately all swagger and no substance.
“Don't pay him any mind, that guy is all show.”
“He walked in acting like a tough guy and everyone ignored him.”
