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

/Sounds like "rahn" (as in "rapper") + "CHEH" (as in "check") + "roh" (as in "row")/

Meaning

A person from the countryside with outdated attitudes, or someone not caught up with modern ways. In Mexico, 'ranchero' isn't always an insult, sometimes it's affectionate, but it marks someone as behind the times, whether they're from a ranch or just act like it.

Examples

Don't be old-fashioned and learn how to use your phone.

The country boy arrived in the city and got lost on the subway.

Regional synonyms

To be hungover after a night that clearly got out of hand. That state where you swear you will never drink again, a promise that lasts exactly until the next party. In Mexico, "crudo" literally means "raw," which is exactly how you feel the morning after.
