  1. Yano is a  tagalog word mainly used in the Southern part of Luzon particularly in the Calabarzon area so it's not that widely known, especially in Manila. It means 'sobra' or 'too'

    makulit means annoying/persistent/pesky

    so when someone says you are 'yanong makulit' it means you are too persistent/annoying/pesky


  2. Maybe "yanong makulit" : 'simply irritating' ?

    Probable stem :

    "Yano" : 'Plane', 'Smooth' adj.

    "Makulugó" : 'Warty', adj.

    "makulit" : English: (adj) means 'naggingly' 'irritating' (root

    "KULIT" from "ULIT", which means repetitive, repeat)

    (noun) "MAKULIT" is (1.) someone who is irritating because he or she does not get the point once but needs to be reminded again and again, so many times over.

    Notes: synonyms: 'n a g g e r', 'irritatingly difficult person', 'one who is on your face'
