/Sounds like "kah" (as in "car") + "MOH" (as in "more") + "teh" (as in "ten")/
To have a crush or be intensely infatuated with someone who won't let you think about anything else. In Mexico, Peru, and Ecuador, 'tener un camote' means being obsessed.
“He's had a camote for the neighbor for months and hasn't talked to her.”
“Don't catch a camote for her, she has a boyfriend.”

Jalada
A lie, a far-fetched story, or a completely pointless action in Mexico. A jalada is what someone says when they can't believe the nonsense they're hearing, or when someone did something that makes zero sense. It captures both dishonesty and sheer absurdity.
