/Sounds like "kwah" (as in "quack") + "DRAH" (as in "draft") + "doh" (as in "door")/

Meaning

A close-minded, inflexible person who refuses to consider new ideas or different ways of doing things. The cuadrado always has the same answer: no. In Mexico and Colombia the term describes someone stuck in their own rigid worldview with no room for creativity or compromise.

Examples
