/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.”

Canche
A blonde or fair-skinned person in Guatemala, the local equivalent of Mexico's 'güero.' Light hair and eyes are uncommon enough in Guatemala that they become a permanent nickname. The canche is always the canche, whether they like it or not.
