noun al ba ñil \ahl-bahn-neel 1. A person who lays bricks. Used in common parlance in Spanish as a construction worker in general. This person is often a Mexican immigrant with limited English skills. They display an ability to work harder and longer than most others, especially in brutally hot conditions. They are especially susceptible and have their powers diminished in cold weather. They can usually be found on Friday nights pounding caguamas or Budweiser red. On a construction site they can usually be found by following the blaring loud Mexican music. Albañiles are usually of uncommonly dark skin color due to their exposure to the sun. Females, beware as walking by a group of albañiles will almost always arouse cat calls or unwanted ogling.
