Your word isn't here yet

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

/Sounds like "ehn" (as in "egg") + "kah" (as in "car") + "HOH" (as in "hope") + "soh" (as in "solo")/

Meaning

In Mexico, someone who inserts themselves into places, conversations, or situations where they are clearly not wanted or invited. The encajoso has a chronic inability to read the room and will show up, join in, and stay regardless.

Examples

We did not invite him and he still showed up anyway.

Don't be that person who barges in, this meeting is private.

Metiche

In Peru, "de repente" means "maybe" or "perhaps," not "suddenly" like in the rest of the Spanish-speaking world. It is a classic false friend that trips up every foreigner in Lima when a Peruvian casually says "de repente voy" and means they might show up, not that they are about to appear.
