/Sounds like "ee" (as in "eagle") + "gwah" (as in "Guam") + "LAH" (as in "lava") + "doh" (as in "door")/
Someone who disrespects social hierarchy by being too familiar with people above them. In Mexico, calling someone igualado means they treat their boss like a buddy or act as if social rank doesn't apply to them. It carries a clear sense of disrespect toward whoever holds the higher position.
“Don't be so familiar, he's your boss, not your buddy.”
“They let him go for being disrespectful to the clients.”
