A term for someone who knows a lot about every subject, a know-it-all, a big shot expert, or a total brainiac (Gonzalez Ciencia is a local nickname for a smarty-pants).
The Science teacher is the macaracachimba of the teachers.
A man who follows the bro code, meaning he is loyal to his friends and never tries to steal their girls.
Prime example: 3 guys and a girl went to hang out in Cabo Rojo, then they decided to go to San Germán: the two guys who are Macaracachimba went to San Germán, but the other one decided to go somewhere else with the girl and did not say a word, that is being a rat and not a Macaracachimba. We Macaracachimbas value our word, we also crush rats.
A phonetic variation of 'masca la cachimba' (the pipe-chewer), reflecting the Puerto Rican tendency to drop the letter 's' in speech. It refers to the big boss, the head honcho, or the person with the most power or expertise in a group. (It is synonymous with the vulgar expression 'el mas que mea', meaning the one who has the most authority or influence).
A guy who is fun, charismatic, and popular, but most importantly a great, easygoing friend. He is someone full of energy and passion for life.
For example Hector Lavoe (a legendary salsa singer): he was always the Macaracachimba of his era; a super popular singer who despite his fame was always very friendly with his people.
