noun, masculine/kaˈfit͡ʃe/plural: cafiches
pimp; sponger, freeloader (especially of women)
Synonyms: cafisho, cafishio, cafiolo, cafisio, caficho, gorrón, estafeta
Borrowed from Lunfardo cafisho, of disputed origin. Maybe from the Italian stoccafisso (“catfish, lanky”), or catfish, a slang term they used to refer to cargoes from the trade; compare the Spanish equivalent macarra, of analogous origin
