/Sounds like "mah" (as in "mark") + "DRAH" (as in "draft") + "soh" (as in "solo")/

She hit back with a verbal blow that left everyone speechless.

Word family

In Mexico, a casual nickname for a light-skinned or fair-featured person with European looks. Borrowed from the name of the classic Mexican white bread roll, the term is typically not meant as an insult, though the tone can shift depending on context and relationship.
