Join Hablaaa and add the expression no one else has documented.

/Sounds like "dyah" + "BLEH" (as in "blend") + "roh" (as in "row")/

Meaning

A worker who hauls heavy loads using a two-wheeled hand truck in Mexico City markets like La Merced or Tepito. Diableros move tons of cargo by hand through crowds every single day.

Examples

The diablero hauled the tomato boxes up in a single trip.

Without the diableros, the wholesale market wouldn't move a single crate.

Regional synonyms

Bravery, grit, and the ability to push through anything without giving up. In Colombia, berraquera is the most respected virtue there is: someone with it does not cry about problems, they solve them.
