Welcome to the forum. It means rude, in this case describing a female. The dictionary here is really good for things like this.

Kevin has hit the nail on the head, but I'll offer a extra for you...

If you break this compound word down, it's "mal" & "educado -a" so you would get "badly educated" in English. So, one could infer, this word is also used as "uneducated/ ignorant" which would follow along the lines of translation given above because uneducated people are usually rude. Which as well is the opposite of "educado -a" meaning "educated/ well-mannered". grin

This of course is my two cents. wink

Technically it means 'badly educated' but in speech it can meal - impolite, rude. smile
