/Sounds like "bee" (as in "bee") + "BAH" (as in "bar") + "lehs" (as in "let")/
A sneaky, street-smart person who takes advantage of others without caring who gets hurt. In Mexico, a vivales always finds a way to rip you off, dodge responsibility, or game the system, and somehow gets away with it every time. Think of it as the Mexican word for a sly hustler, but with a clearly negative connotation.
“Ese vivales me cobró el doble por la reparación y no hizo nada bien. (That cheat charged me double for the repair and didn't do it right.)”
“No seas vivales, págale lo que le debes. (Don't be a crook, pay him what you owe.)”
