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

/Sounds like "meh" (as in "met") + "keh" (as in "kept") + "TREH" (as in "tread") + "feh" (as in "fence")/

Meaning

A useless, meddlesome person who inserts themselves into everything while contributing absolutely nothing. In Spain and Mexico, a mequetrefe is the person nobody invited but who always has opinions, always gets in the way, and never takes the hint to leave.

Examples

What is that nobody doing here if nobody invited him?

Do not pay attention to that meddler, he does not know anything about it.

A laid-back Paraguayan way to say "all good" or "no worries," blending Spanish "tranquilo" with the Guaraní particle "pa." It's the go-to reply when you want to reassure someone or brush off a problem.
