/Sounds like "MOH" (as in "more") + "rroh"/

Meaning

Nerve, cheek, shameless audacity, the sheer face to do something outrageous and not even blink. In Spain, having morro means doing the unthinkable with complete confidence. It's not quite admirable but it's hard not to respect the scale of it.

Examples

The nerve! He asked you for money and didn't even say thanks.

With the audacity he has, he showed up late and sat in the front row.
