Join Hablaaa and add the expression no one else has documented.

/Sounds like "ah" (as in "art") + "gahn" (as in "garden") + "DAH" (as in "dart") + "yeh" (as in "yes")/

Meaning

The act of grabbing or hoarding something that is not yours, taking more than your share without any guilt. In Mexico, "agandalle" names that selfish move where someone takes it all and leaves nothing for anyone else.

Examples

No seas de agandalle y deja algo para los demás.

Don't be greedy, leave some for everyone else.

Ese agandalle que hizo con el presupuesto fue de lo peor.

That money grab he pulled with the budget was absolutely the worst.

Regional synonyms

An internet troll: someone who jumps into forums, comment sections, or group chats just to provoke, annoy, and cause drama. They are not looking for a real debate. They want the reaction, the chaos, the meltdown. Used the same way across all Spanish-speaking countries.
