/Sounds like "roh" (as in "row") + "YEH" (as in "yes") + "roh" (as in "row")/
A smooth talker who says a lot without ever saying anything concrete, someone who uses charm and words to impress or persuade but delivers no real substance. In Mexico and Guatemala, a rollero can also be the person who courts with words alone, all promises and no follow-through.
“Do not listen to him, he is all talk and no action, just promises and nothing real.”
“There goes the same rollero with his story about almost finishing the project.”

Pelota
A sycophant who flatters those in power to get ahead, the classic yes-man who celebrates even his boss's mistakes. In Colombia and Venezuela, pelota is synonymous with "lambón" or "lame botas": someone who never has their own opinion, only whatever the boss thinks.
