/Sounds like "tyeh" + "RREH" + "roh" (as in "row")/
Someone from a small town or rural area who acts naive or visibly out of their element in the city. Used in Colombia. Tierrero can be said affectionately, recognizing genuine small-town authenticity, or with light irony when someone clearly has not picked up urban codes yet. It is never a truly harsh insult, more of an observation.
“Don't be a tierrero, learn how to flag down a bus in the city like everyone else.”
“My hometown friends from the village come to visit every December and I love it.”
