/Sounds like "tee" (as in "tea") + "ree" (as in "reed") + "LOHN" (as in "loan")/
A laid-back, rebellious barrio dude in Chicano pachuco slang, tied to the zoot suit style and 1940s marijuana culture. A historical term that lives on as a cultural identity marker among U.S. Latinos.
“My grandfather was one of the tirilones in El Paso back in the forties.”
“He dresses full pachuco style, pure old-school vibes.”

Zángano
A lazy freeloader who lives off others without contributing anything. The name comes from the male drone bee that produces no honey and depends entirely on the colony. In Mexico and Central America, a zángano is always around but never helps, always has an excuse, and expects everyone else to carry the weight.
