/Sounds like 'meh-roh-LEE-koh'/
A street vendor with the gift of gab — someone who sets up on sidewalks or in markets and talks non-stop to sell their miracle cures, gadgets, or trinkets. In Mexico the merolico is part huckster, part entertainer, and always a spectacle. The original influencer, live and in person.
"Había un merolico vendiendo vitaminas en el tianguis. → "There was a street hawker selling vitamins at the market."
"El merolico llevaba media hora hablando y ya había vendido todo. → "The street vendor had been talking for half an hour and had already sold everything."
