Bandera de España

/ku-RRE-la/

A working-class person — someone who grinds every day to make ends meet, without complaints and without illusions. In Spain, 'currela' (from 'currar,' to work) is worn with pride: you're not management, you're not a boss, you're the one who actually does the work.

Example

"We're all just workers trying to make it to the end of the month."

"That party has always claimed to represent the working people."
