/Sounds like the English word "mal" + "eh" (as in "egg") + "AH" (as in "art") + "doh" (as in "door")/
In Peru, someone hardened by the street and experienced in tough environments. A maleado has a quiet confidence that comes from having lived it. Unlike being aggressive, a maleado can be calm: that calm just comes from years of knowing how things really work. Said with respect or caution.
“The shop boss has seen it all, nothing catches him off guard.”
“Those guys are hardened, better not mess with them.”
