"roachless" means without a roach . It is one of many casual words teens pick up from friends, social media, music or sport, and on its own it carries no particular warning.

"roachless" is informal English meaning without a roach . It is used widely across English varieties. A more formal or neutral equivalent would be something like "without a roach " expressed in standard vocabulary.
