Bandera de México

/Sounds like 'en-kah-HOH-soh'/

Someone who barges in uninvited, follows people around without being welcomed, or inserts themselves into situations where they don't belong. Being encajoso is about a chronic failure to read the room.

Example

"Siempre se invita solo a todo, es un encajoso terrible."

"No seas encajoso, ya viste que no te quieren ahí. → He always invites himself along to everything, he's unbearably intrusive."

"Don't be so pushy, you can see they don't want you there."
