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

/Sounds like "meh" (as in "met") + "LOH" (as in "loan") + "soh" (as in "solo")/

Meaning

An overly sweet and cloying person who exaggerates affection to the point of discomfort. In Colombia and Venezuela the meloso lays it on so thick with the sweetness that eventually nobody can stand being around them.

Examples

That guy is so clingy, he's hugging everyone all the time.

Don't be so overly affectionate, you're scaring people off.
