/Sounds like "lees" (as in "lead") + "TEE" (as in "tea") + "yoh" (as in "yoke")/
A know-it-all who loves showing off how smart they are, often without actually being right. The listillo volunteers corrections and opinions nobody asked for, and the irony is that they usually end up proving the opposite of what they intended. Used with a mix of mockery and mild irritation in Mexico and Central America.
“That know-it-all interrupted class to correct the teacher and was completely wrong.”
“Don't pretend to know it all when you don't actually have the facts straight.”

Maluco
Something that tastes bad, smells off, or has gone bad. In Colombia, maluco covers the physical unpleasantness of spoiled food and the social unpleasantness of a foul mood equally well.
