/Sounds like "kahn" (as in "car") + "tah" (as in "tar") + "LEH" (as in "let") + "tah" (as in "tar")/
A long, repetitive scolding that everyone has already memorized from hearing it so many times. You could recite it word for word before it even ends. Used in Colombia and Venezuela for that same old lecture you know is coming.
“My mom gave me the same old speech about my messy room.”
“I know the whole lecture by heart, please do not repeat it.”
