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

/Sounds like "ee" (as in "eagle") + "gwah" (as in "Guam") + "LAH" (as in "lava") + "dah" (as in "dart")/

Meaning

Someone who oversteps social boundaries and acts way too familiar with people they barely know. In Latin American cultures where hierarchy and social distance matter, being called igualada is a real insult: it means you are acting as if you have a closeness or status you have not earned.

Examples

That woman is so presumptuous, you barely greet her and she is already telling you her whole life story.

Don't overstep with your boss, treat him the way he deserves.
