/Sounds like "mah" (as in "mark") + "droo" (as in "drew") + "GEH" (as in "get") + "teh" (as in "ten")/
A sneaky, underhanded preemptive move that catches someone off guard before they can react. In Mexico, a madruguete is the move made at figurative dawn, when the other person never saw it coming.
“They pulled a madruguete and passed the law before anyone could object.”
“They blindsided me with the contract, they signed with another vendor out of nowhere.”

De prepo
To do something by force or sheer pushiness, without asking permission and ignoring everyone else. From Argentine lunfardo, acting de prepo means barging in or getting your way through sheer audacity.
