/Sounds like "peh" + "lee" + "boo" (as in "book" without the "k") + "cheh" (as in "check" without the "ck")/
A person with messy, spiky, or wildly unkempt hair. In Guatemala and Honduras, a "pelibuche" looks like they just rolled out of bed or got styled by a hurricane. It is a playful, teasing word, not a serious insult.
"Ese pelibuche llegó a la reunión como si acabara de despertar. -> That messy-haired guy showed up to the meeting like he just woke up."
"¿Por qué andas así de pelibuche? Péinate. -> Why are you walking around with that crazy hair? Comb it."
