Exactly Rasha! I was going to write the same comment! I can't think about anything else except "stubborn". Definitely, the context will show the right meaning. Now, we are just guessing. :)
Rasha Ellithy May 19:
Could you provide more context, please? In Egypt we sometime use it to refer to someone who is very stubborn or very difficult to convince/change his mind. Does this meaning agree with your context?
