rollista

Question

What is a "rollista" in the sentence: "El rector era el Dr. Napoleon Alcerro Oliva y el rollista Adan Palacios."

Answer 1

Hi Win,
I would love to know the sentences before and after that one. In the Cursillo Movement in America, there's a position called "observing rector" that would probably be listed next after "rector" I wonder if that could correspond to the mysterious "rollista"'

Answer 2

Hi Win

Try this site. There is a reference to "el gozo del rollista" - rappers delight.

Answer 3

Thanks for your dictionary definition of "rollista." But "storyteller, bore, or fibber" doesn't fit in this context: "El movimiento cursillista seguia tomando fuerza y el 21 de abril se llevo a cabo el Tercer Cursillo en Juticalpa, ya no con equipo extranjero, sino con un equipo hondureno. El rector era el Dr. Napoleon Alcerro Oliva y el rollista Adan Palacios de Olancho." Seems to me like it might mean something like "secretary."
