Your word isn't here yet

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

/Sounds like the English word "camot" + "eh" (as in "egg") + "AHR" (as in "art")/

Meaning

To confuse, muddle, or talk someone in circles until they completely lose track of what they were asking. In Mexico, whoever camotea someone leaves them so disoriented they cannot even remember what they originally wanted to know.

Examples

The lawyer talked me in so many circles with legal terms that I signed without understanding a thing.

Stop confusing me and just tell me straight what happened with the order.

A student who is completely dedicated to studying and nothing else. The equivalent of a "nerd" or "grind" in Argentine and Chilean slang. Not always an insult: sometimes it is pure admiration.
