/Sounds like "MOHNS" (as in "more") + "trwoh"/

Meaning

A monster, but in the best way possible. In the Caribbean, calling someone a monstruo means they're exceptional, a total beast at what they do. It's the highest compliment for talent or skill, said with genuine awe.

Examples

Ese tipo en la cocina es un monstruo, todo lo que hace queda perfecto.

That guy in the kitchen is an absolute beast, everything he makes comes out perfect.

She's a monster at basketball, they've been recruiting her since she was thirteen.

Regional synonyms
