dude, man

Explanation:
"Cocalar" e o persoana "low class" un tip de mahala. Nu "thug", nu scum etc. si nici punk.
Corespunde femininului "pitipoanca" care e un fel de "blonda" de mahala.

"băi, cocălarilor" nepeiorativ poate fi o forma de adresare intre "cocalari"- deci ceva in genul "dude".

Cocalar
Persoana de sex masculin cu o cultura aproape inexistenta a carei scopuri in viata sunt banii,femeile,valoarea.Ca gen muzical prefera manelele["fara numar"] de unde isi insuseste incet vocabularul si vestimentatia.Desi intrebati in fata,putini vor recunoaste ca sunt cocalari.De obicei spun ca asculta doar manelele "faine".De asemenea se cred irezistibili si cuceritori de prima clasa,gentlemeni si alte chestii de genul.
http://ro.answersfinder.com/dictionary/cocalar-44.html
Judecand dupa aspect nu este punk sau riff raff ( care nu se ridica la nivelul cocalarului), as zice ca se poate numi cam asa

bling waddlers

buy bling waddlers mugs, tshirts and magnets
or 'bling waddler' are words only applying to fat men between 35 and 45 who wear shorts, sandals and puffa jackets. The commonly tend to drive 'Ive-Got-An-Under-Sized-Penis' cars,Four by fours or minivans. They also are overly hairy, facially smug and wear Bluetooth's ear pods proudly as though they are rich Godlike men walking the streets. In actuality they are fat, waddling,hairy twats who'll end up with brain problems,drink problems and wives who only do it with them for the cash. Also they are probably closet homosexuals who film their neighbours kids through the cracks in the garden fence.

Bro
2. An alpha male idiot. This is the derogatory sense of the word (common usage in the western US): white, 16-25 years old, inarticulate, belligerent, talks about nothing but chicks and beer, drives a jacked up truck that’s plastered with stickers, has rich dad that owns a dealership or construction business and constantly tells this to chicks at parties, is into extreme sports that might be fun to do but are uncool to claim (wakeboarding, dirt biking, lacrosse), identifies excessively with brand names, spends a female amount of money on clothes and obsesses over his appearance to a degree that is not socially acceptable for a heterosexual male. The female equivalent of the Bro is the Bro Hoe. Bro Hoes are Bro groupies that hang around bros, many of whom are actually quite hot and are thus spared the scorn that is heaped on Bros.
My sisters new boyfriend is an idiot; the dude is a total bro.

Vedeti si variatia Bro dude in acelasi dictionar

In functie de categoria de varsta
mai mul context ar fi necesar pentru a preciza corect

Notes to answerer

Asker: Excelent, Anca ! Mulțumesc pt. postare și explicații . Întrucât expresia românească nu are relevanță legală în contextul meu, clientul dorește să-și dea seama despre ce este vorba și atât. De aceea, după două ascultări atente al întregii înregistrări, am ales doushebag. Asta nu însemnă că scade în vreun fel meritul și valoarea celorlalte sugestii.

Asker: Clientul, fiind o instituție guvernamentală, este interesat mai mult de faptele și acțiunile indivizilor și mai puțin de slang, care, practic nu are nicio relevanță juridică în cazul concret de aici
