Your word isn't here yet

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

/Sounds like "kah" (as in "car") + "EHR" (as in "egg") + "leh" (as in "let") + "GOHR" (as in "go") + "doh" (as in "door")/

Meaning

To find someone annoying or unpleasant in Mexico, when a person rubs you the wrong way and you just can't stand being around them. It's an instinctive dislike you can't always explain.

Examples

That guy really gets on my nerves, I don't know why.

Don't take it personally, some people just rub others the wrong way.

Regional synonyms

To make the bed after you wake up: the first thing your mom teaches you to do and the last thing you feel like doing every morning. In Spanish it is always "tender" not "hacer" in Colombia, Mexico, Peru, and Venezuela, and that regional distinction immediately tells you where someone is from.
