/Sounds like "roh" (as in "row") + "pah" (as in "park") + "beh" (as in "bed") + "HEH" (as in "help") + "roh" (as in "row")/
In Mexico, a street vendor who pushes a cart through neighborhoods trading old clothes, scrap metal, and household items for cash or more old things. His recorded loudspeaker cry is part of the sound landscape of any Mexico City colonia.
“The ropavejero came by and she traded the old mattress for a few pesos.”
“You can hear the ropavejero shouting all down the block from early morning.”

Chirrete
A person who looks sloppy, has no class, and behaves in a vulgar or trashy way. In Colombia, calling someone chirrete is a harsh label for someone who comes across as low class and unkempt, both in appearance and attitude. It's similar to calling someone "trashy" or "ghetto" in English.
