Your word isn't here yet

Join Hablaaa and add the expression no one else has documented.

/Sounds like "ah" (as in "art") + "koh" (as in "coat") + "moh" (as in "more") + "DAH" (as in "dart") + "doh" (as in "door")/

Meaning

In Argentina, someone who got their position through connections or nepotism rather than merit. The acomodado did not earn their seat; someone handed it to them. The word can carry humor or resentment depending on the tone, but either way, everyone knows how they got there.

Examples

The new manager got the job through the owner's connections; he knows nothing about the industry.

You're going to compete against him? He's a nepotism hire; they'll pick him regardless.
