/Sounds like "meh" (as in "met") + "TEE" (as in "tea") + "cheh" (as in "check")/

Meaning

A nosy person who gets into everything that's none of their business and always wants to know what everyone else is doing. The metiche can't help it: if there's gossip, they're there; if there's someone else's problem, they're there too.

Examples

Don't be nosy, that's none of your business.

My neighbor is super metiche, always watching what I do.
