Uruguay_ 1) Male prostitute that acts usually as the active part or top, they are generally young under educated males with good bodies and well
hunged
2) A male person who is poorly educated, with bad manners, a cheezy taste in clothes and hairdos(usually the most important is showing off a Nike pair of shoes).
