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

/Sounds like "RAHS" (as in "rapper") + "pah" (as in "park")/

Meaning

In Peru, a cheap or stingy person who never wants to spend money and always has a ready excuse not to contribute. A raspa is the person who mysteriously disappears the moment the bill arrives, or who has "forgotten their wallet" every single time without fail.

Examples

Don't be stingy, just pay your share of the bill.
