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

/Sounds like "moh" (as in "more") + "KOH" (as in "coat") + "soh" (as in "solo")/

Meaning

A rude, disrespectful, or badly behaved kid. In Mexico and Central America, 'mocoso' is the go-to word for a child who is causing trouble, being insolent, or acting like they were raised without manners. Calling an adult a mocoso is also devastating.

Examples

Control that brat, he won't stop screaming.

Don't be a brat and respect your elders.
