Magaraha

Magaraha is a word of Cebuano origin. Cebuano is a language spoken in the Philippines, primarily in the Central Visayas region. The word "magaraha" (sometimes spelled "magara-ha") refers to a person, usually female, who is ostentatious, extravagant, or lavish in their appearance and lifestyle. It often implies a display of wealth, beauty, or status intended to impress or attract attention. The term can carry both positive and negative connotations depending on context and the speaker's intent. It can suggest confidence and sophistication, or, alternatively, be used to criticize someone for being excessively flamboyant, pretentious, or superficial. The degree of disapproval often hinges on whether the perceived extravagance is seen as excessive or in poor taste.
