Your word isn't here yet

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

/Sounds like "ah" (as in "art") + "MAHR" (as in "mark") + "goh" (as in "go")/

Meaning

A chronically bitter, grumpy person who finds fault in everything and has no social sweetness whatsoever. In Argentina and Uruguay the word comes directly from the taste: an "amargo" person is missing the basic warmth needed to get along without creating tension.

Examples

Don't invite that bitter guy, he'll ruin the whole hangout.

Why are you so bitter all the time? Just relax a little.
