/Sounds like "sah" (as in "salsa") + "beh" (as in "bed") + "loh" (as in "loan") + "TOH" (as in "toll") + "doh" (as in "door")/

Meaning

A know-it-all, someone who pretends to have expert knowledge on absolutely everything and constantly needs to correct or one-up everyone around them. Insufferable in any group conversation, especially in meetings or family dinners.

Examples

That know-it-all interrupts everyone just to give his unsolicited opinion.

Don't be a know-it-all, nobody actually knows everything.

Regional synonyms

A guy with a provocative, sensual, and uninhibited attitude, especially in the context of reggaeton and Caribbean urban culture. It's the masculine form of 'bellaca,' describing someone who gets into that bold, flirty, no holds barred mode when the music hits and the party energy takes over.
