A neighborhood bully or tough guy who uses aggression and intimidation to assert dominance. In Ecuador and Peru, the faite is always looking for a fight and uses conflict as a way to show hierarchy. The attitude is more bark than bite most of the time, but the intention is very much to be feared.
“Ese faite del colegio se mete con todos los que ve más débiles.”
“That bully at school picks on anyone he sees as weaker.”
“No te hagas el faite aquí, nadie te tiene miedo.”
“Stop acting tough around here, nobody is scared of you.”
