/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.”

Cuñadismo
In Spain, the habit of speaking confidently about any topic with zero actual knowledge. The word comes from the cultural archetype of the brother-in-law at family dinners who has a loud opinion on everything from economics to politics without knowing anything about either.
