Definitions tagged timbre in the street dictionary.

timbreo

A door-to-door campaigning tactic where politicians ring doorbells to chat with residents about neighborhood issues. These visits are often criticized as being staged or scripted to ensure the politician only meets with supporters and avoids awkward confrontations (the term comes from timbre, meaning doorbell).

The Cambiemos candidates do timbreo on a regular basis.
