/Sounds like "peh" (as in "pet") + "gah" (as in "garden") + "HOH" (as in "hope") + "soh" (as in "solo")/

Meaning

A clingy person who doesn't know how to respect personal space: always hovering, impossible to shake off, and completely blind to social hints. The pegajoso shows up everywhere uninvited and somehow never gets the message.

Examples

That guy is so clingy, he doesn't let you breathe for five minutes.

Ever since they introduced him he's been super clingy and it's getting old.
