cocalar
Cocalar is a Romanian slang word and I've seen several definitions (including the one below), it seems to imply people with poor taste, who adopt ridiculous clothing styles, bling and glitter, tattoos etc., more concerned with shocking appearance than action, so I can see the association with the affected dress of the rubber clad bat. Its also got associations with street people, implying dirty petty criminals, again one can see the association. The following link takes you to a more extreme discussion of the meaning and history of this slang word. cocalar
