Roto
/Sounds like "ROH" (as in "row") + "toh" (as in "toll")/
A lower-class person with rough manners and no refinement. In Chile, 'roto' is a loaded class marker, it can be a sharp insult or used with dark irony. The word has a long history tied to Chilean social stratification and can sting hard.
“Don't invite that roto, he always causes drama.”
“He acted like a total roto at the family dinner.”
