The inflected adjective form verre was historically sometimes re-formed as verde (see there for more).

2016 February 19, Thijs Zonneveld, “De beige sjaal van Dick Advocaat is een statement”, in Algemeen Dagblad:

Dick does not go along with it. No flashy shirts, no difficult hairdo (although the hairstyle that he used to have, hair combed sideways, was also some kind of trendy, at that time), no glossy leather boots and no "Only God Can Judge Me" tattoos on his neck.

In fact the difference with begging vagrants is not very large, but these are usually much less intrusive and prominent. Another difference is that street promoters are often cheeky girls and boys who moreover say that your hairstyle is swell and that you seem like a relaxed kind of person.
