Create account/Sounds like "PREH" (as in "press") + "poh" (as in "port")/
Short for prepotencia in Argentina, referring to the attitude of forcing yourself over others without permission or consideration. Almost always used in the phrase "de prepo" to signal something was done by sheer imposition.
“He steamrolled you, wouldn't even let you speak.”
“That guy is all arrogance, always trying to bulldoze over everyone.”

Tener entre ceja y ceja
To have it in for someone: to hold a grudge and look for any excuse to criticize, sabotage, or judge that person no matter what they do. Used in Argentina, Uruguay, and Chile. Once someone has you "entre ceja y ceja" (right between their eyebrows, squarely in their sights), nothing you do will ever be enough.
