Roadie
Significado: A crew member who travels with a band on tour, handling equipment, sound, and logistics.
Roadies are the unsung heroes of the music industry — they set up stages, tune instruments, manage sound equipment, and tear everything down after the show. The job is grueling but beloved by those who do it. 'Being a roadie' can also jokingly mean helping someone move or carry heavy stuff.
