Barrow, used to describe somebody overweight who wears glasses.
'Man, that guy is a total barrow'
Originally the term used to describe a London street-hawker, commonly selling fruit and vegtables from a barrow. Now used to describe a social climber from the east end of London, noted for his above average net-worth but lack of refinement. Usually works in the financial sector of the City of London.
