/Sounds like 'pah-teh-PLOO-mah'/

Someone who walks everywhere or is always out on the streets roaming around. The patepluma knows every corner of the city because they've covered it all on foot — by choice or necessity.

Example

"That guy doesn't have a car, he goes everywhere on foot."

"He's out walking around in this heat like it's nothing."
