/Sounds like the English word "mat" + "EH" (as in "egg") + "oh" (as in "oh")/
A student who is completely dedicated to studying and nothing else. The equivalent of a "nerd" or "grind" in Argentine and Chilean slang. Not always an insult: sometimes it is pure admiration.
“He is a total grind. He studies until three in the morning every single day.”
“In school he was the class nerd. Got perfect scores in everything.”
