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

/Sounds like "DAHR" (as in "dart") + "GREE" (as in "greet") + "mah" (as in "mark")/

Meaning

In Spain, that creepy uncomfortable feeling you get from something gross, grating, or deeply annoying: like nails on a chalkboard but for anything that sets your teeth on edge.

Examples

That guy gives me such a dar grima feeling I can't even stand to be near him.

A bad egg, a genuinely wicked or dangerous person who always brings trouble with them. In the Caribbean it gives rise to the saying "bicho malo nunca muere" (a bad bug never dies), meaning the worst people always seem to survive and get away with everything.
