Your word isn't here yet

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

/Sounds like "greh" (as in "grade") + "NYOO" (as in "new") + "doh" (as in "door")/

Meaning

Someone with long, messy, uncombed hair in Mexico. Said affectionately or as mild criticism about someone whose hair looks wild and untamed.

Examples

Get a haircut, you're so greñudo, you look like a lion.

The greñudo in the band is the one playing guitar.

Regional synonyms

A quick, light kiss on the lips in Colombia and Venezuela. It is innocent and affectionate, the kind of peck you give your partner when saying goodbye or hello. Hilariously, this exact same word is one of the most vulgar terms in Chile, meaning the complete opposite, so watch where you use it.
