/Sounds like "SAHN" (as in "salsa") + "greh" (as in "grade") + "peh" (as in "pet") + "SAH" (as in "salsa") + "dah" (as in "dart")/

Meaning

In Mexico, someone who gives off bad vibes right away: not necessarily mean, just someone who rubs people the wrong way for no clear reason. Tener la sangre pesada means people instinctively don't warm up to you.

Examples

That guy has sangre pesada, the whole vibe drops as soon as he walks in.

He's not a bad person, he just has that energy nobody can stand.

Regional synonyms

A full-body costume that covers everything, leaving the wearer completely unrecognizable. In Colombia and Venezuela, monocuco is the classic children's costume, the go-to outfit for Carnival or Halloween when total anonymity is the goal.
