Your word isn't here yet

Join Hablaaa and add the expression no one else has documented.

/Sounds like "RAHM" (as in "rapper") + "plah" (as in "plan")/

Meaning

Low-class, tasteless, or lacking refinement, but without pretense. Something rampla doesn't aspire to elegance and doesn't pretend to. It's the raw, unpolished version of a thing, person, or situation.

Examples

That song is pretty trashy but it really catches on.

She's uncultured but everyone likes her.

Regional synonyms

Girlfriend or romantic partner in Lima street slang. Direct, no frills, the word you use to talk about the girl you are with. Comes from the jerigonza tradition of coded syllable-swapping in Peruvian urban speech, and it is distinctly Lima.
