Your word isn't here yet

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

/Sounds like "ahn" (as in "art") + "teh" (as in "ten") + "OH" (as in "oh") + "hohs" (as in "hope")/

Meaning

Glasses for correcting vision in Argentina and Uruguay. While Spain says 'gafas' and Mexico says 'lentes,' River Plate folks say 'anteojos' and there's no convincing them to change.

Examples

I forgot my glasses and I can't see a damn thing.

The new glasses cost me an arm and a leg.

An affectionate way to refer to your dad or partner in Argentina, Mexico, and other Latin countries. Calling someone "mi viejo" sounds like you're saying they're ancient, but it's actually pure love and endearment.
