What does carrancho mean in each country?

carrancho

Used to describe someone who looks raggedy or unkempt, or something that is shoddily done. It is a derivative of the word for a slum shack, implying a look that is messy or low-quality. (In Venezuela, a rancho is a precarious, improvised dwelling).

That person is carrancho, meaning they are very poorly dressed and their clothes are all wrinkled.
