An atarbán is a rude, aggressive, and selfish person who lacks basic manners or empathy. In Colombia, it often refers to a 'modern barbarian' who ignores social rules and the safety of others to get what they want. While frequently used for reckless drivers in large vehicles who act like they own the road, it describes anyone who bullies the weak, destroys property, or acts with total disregard for the community.
That atarbán in the big car just sped through the crosswalk and hit someone without stopping. It is also the person who cuts to the front of a line as if no one else exists, or someone who breaks an ornament in your house and does not even notice. From a bully hitting someone weaker to a company using violence to crush neighbors, they are all acting like an atarbán.
