/Sounds like "AHL" (as in "art") + "fah" (as in "far")/

Meaning

A man who brags about being dominant, confident, and superior to everyone around him. The alpha male concept borrowed from discredited wolf pack research and was supercharged by internet bro culture. The irony, as the Spanish definition points out, is that the guys who shout "alpha" the loudest are usually the most insecure in real life.

Examples

He thinks he is some alpha male but gets nervous just ordering a drink at a bar.

The guys performing alpha energy online are always the most insecure ones when you meet them in person.

In Chile, an emotionally cold person who shows no visible reaction to anything. The word borrows the image of a crystal: clear, hard, and ice cold. Nothing moves them, not bad news, not drama, not anything.
