Your word isn't here yet

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

/Sounds like "kah" (as in "car") + "PAHR" (as in "park")/

Meaning

To skip class or ditch school without telling anyone. In Chile and Peru, capar is the classic student move of sneaking off before a teacher notices, usually with friends and always with better plans.

Examples

We ditched history class and headed to the park.

If they catch you skipping, you get suspended.

Word family

A strong exclamation of surprise, anger, or admiration, depending entirely on context. Used in Argentina, Spain, and Uruguay, this expression is the ultimate wildcard: it works equally well for celebrating a last-minute goal or cursing when you lock your keys inside the house. Context is everything.
