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.

In the Dominican Republic, to talk too much, beat around the bush endlessly, or annoy someone with nonstop chatter that never reaches the point. The person who da lora talks like a parrot that will not shut up, circling around the subject without ever landing on it.
