Pelus
A derogatory term for certain male students at the University of Puerto Rico who are seen as career activists living off federal student aid while supporting the pro-independence movement. They are characterized by long hair, beards, and mustaches meant to imitate historical or political figures (such as Eugenio Maria de Hostos, a famous 19th century Puerto Rican educator, or independence leaders like Ruben Berrios).
Here come the Pelus to go on strike. They rained down baton blows on the Pelus for crashing a private event. Hey, and that beard and mustache, you are starting to look like the Pelus from the UPR.
