/Sounds like "toom" (as in "tool") + "BEH" (as in "bed") + "roh" (as in "row")/
In Argentina, someone who has been in prison or who lives by the codes and style of prison culture. "La tumba" is slang for jail. It is not always an insult: it can simply describe someone whose walk, talk, and outlook were shaped by time behind bars.
“The way he talks and dresses screams ex-con, he must have done time.”
“That neighborhood is full of young guys with that prison-yard attitude.”
