Join Hablaaa and add the expression no one else has documented.

/Sounds like "mah" (as in "mark") + "MEE" (as in "me") + "lah" (as in "lava")/

Meaning

A stuck-up, snobbish person who thinks they are better than everyone else. In Mexico, mamila describes someone who looks down on others based on their lifestyle, money, or background. Similar to calling someone a snob, but with more attitude and less subtlety.

Examples

Don't be a snob, just come eat tacos with us.

That girl is so stuck-up, she doesn't even say hi to anyone at work.

Regional synonyms

Beer in Colombia, the most casual, affectionate, and popular way to refer to a cold one. Grabbing some polas is the perfect plan after work, on soccer Sundays, or at any get-together.
