/Sounds like 'hee-bah-REE-to'/
A Puerto Rican country person or rural farmer, though the term has evolved into a badge of authentic boricua identity. Calling someone jibarito with affection honors their humble, hardworking roots — it's pride, not an insult.
"My grandfather is a country man from Orocovis, the hardest-working man I know."
"Even after moving to New York, he's still a country boy at heart."
