EN: arrogant, boastful
That person in your group project who thinks all their ideas are brilliant, the guy at the gym who flexes in every mirror, or the relative who won't shut up about their new iPhone. They have an "air" about them, and it's not perfume. It's the opposite of "sana all"; it's "ako lang." The ultimate comeback? "Hangin, pre."
ROOT MEANING: arrogance; boastfulness
A very common and strong pejorative. Calling someone "mayabang" is a direct insult to their character.
