/Sounds like "MAHL" (as in "mark") + "ehn" (as in "egg") + "kah" (as in "car") + "RAH" (as in "rapper") + "doh" (as in "door")/
A person with a permanent scowl who intimidates others just by looking at them. The 'mal encarado' doesn't need to say a word to make everyone around them uncomfortable.
“That guard with the permanent scowl won't let anyone through without a mean look.”
“I'm not angry, this is just my resting face.”

Ir al frente
To confront someone directly, or to rat someone out without hesitation. In Argentina, "ir al frente" can be brave or treacherous depending on context: sometimes it means having the courage to speak up, sometimes it means going to the boss to report a coworker. The person who goes to the front does not hide.
