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

/Sounds like "mahn" (as in "mark") + "DOHN" (as in "door")/

Meaning

A bossy person who always wants to be in charge and gives orders like they own everyone. The mandón doesn't ask, they command. Whether it's a controlling parent, a micromanaging boss, or that one friend who takes over every plan, the mandón can't help themselves.

Examples

I can't stand my boss, he's an insufferable control freak.

Don't be so bossy, let others make decisions too.
