What does Macho mean?
/ˈmɑ.t͡ʃoʊ/

Macho is a Spanish word meaning "male," used in English to describe an overtly masculine, assertive swagger; it comes from the Latin masculus, the same root behind "masculine."

Macho is bold and a bit tongue-in-cheek, often given with affection to a dog who struts around like the toughest one in the yard, whether or not that's actually true.
