/Sounds like 'mah-mah-RAH-choh'/
A ridiculous, overdressed, or clownish-looking person — someone whose appearance or behavior invites secondhand embarrassment. Used across Argentina, Spain, and Colombia to describe someone who's making a fool of themselves without realizing it. Part fashion disaster, part court jester.
"Fue al casamiento vestido de mamarracho y todos lo miraron raro. → "He showed up to the wedding dressed like a clown and everyone stared."
"No seas mamarracho, cámbiate esa ropa antes de salir. → "Don't be a mess — change that outfit before going out."
