Words you can keep
In Spain, this word, which literally means "brother in law" has recently been used as a colloquial way to describe someone (usually adult men) with traditional and simple-minded right-wing views that tend to speak on issues as an expert and a connoisseur, even though he's clearly none of that.
Basically, someone that speaks to show how "intelligent" he is but without actually saying anything fairly interesting or groundbreaking.
Mediocrity.
