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

/Sounds like "sahn" (as in "salsa") + "GROHN" (as in "grow")/

Meaning

An unfriendly, stuck up person who rubs everyone the wrong way with their arrogant, condescending, or cold attitude in Mexico. A sangrón is someone who looks down on you for no reason, does not even bother to say hello, and has a special talent for making everyone around them feel uncomfortable.

Examples

That guy is so stuck up, he doesn't even say hi when he arrives.

Don't be so rude, at least say good morning.

Regional synonyms

A shallow, hollow person with no real depth or intellectual substance. In Mexico and Central America, calling someone "hueco" means they may look interesting on the surface but there is nothing real inside, no genuine ideas, no authentic connections. Used for people and also for relationships or conversations that are all appearance and no content.
