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

/Sounds like "heh" (as in "help") + "DYOHN" + "doh" (as in "door")/

Meaning

Mexican rural and working-class way of saying something or someone stinks badly. The "j" spelling marks it as informal street and countryside speech.

Examples

Take off those stinky socks before you come inside.

That bathroom reeks, you can't even breathe in there.

Regional synonyms

In Spain, someone who is arrogant and full of themselves, strutting around with an inflated ego nobody asked for. The word can also flip to a compliment meaning cool or stylish depending on tone, but when said with a raised eyebrow it means someone who thinks way too highly of themselves.
