/Sounds like "pah" (as in "park") + "DROH" (as in "drone") + "teh" (as in "ten")/
A pimp: a man who controls and profits from women through exploitation and coercion. In Mexico the word carries a serious criminal connotation. It can also be applied more loosely to any man who lives off other people's work without contributing anything of his own, making it both a criminal label and a general dig at freeloaders.
“Ese padrote vive bien a costillas de todos.”
“That guy lives comfortably off everyone else without lifting a finger.”
“Le dicen padrote porque ningún trabajo se le pega.”
“They call him that because no job ever sticks, he just lives off other people.”

Careto
A person with a permanent serious, sour expression, the one who never smiles and seems perpetually unimpressed. In Venezuela, careto is the label for the stone-faced individual whose face communicates disapproval even at a party.
