/Sounds like "TEHM" (as in "ten") + "bah" (as in "bar")/
A Cuban word for an older person, usually forty and up, who stays active in the social and romantic scene. "Ese temba" is the gray-haired guy who still goes out dancing, and "esa temba" is the woman dating someone twenty years younger. The term can be affectionate ("mi temba favorita") or slightly teasing ("qué temba más alzada"). It describes a stage of life, not just an age.
“That older guy is my boss.”
“I like older women.”
