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

/Sounds like "reh" (as in "red") + "peh" (as in "pet") + "LEHN" (as in "let") + "teh" (as in "ten")/

Meaning

An insufferable, intensely annoying person who gets on everyone's nerves from the moment they arrive. A repelente doesn't need to try, irritating people is their natural state of being.

Examples

He's insufferable, always finding something negative to say.

That little brat ruined the whole game.

Regional synonyms

A thick, slightly sweet corn tortilla from Nicaragua made from fresh young corn. Denser and softer than a regular tortilla, it is best eaten hot off the griddle with queso or cuajada (fresh curd cheese). A staple at market breakfasts and a beloved treat at family get-togethers.
