Your word isn't here yet

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

/Sounds like "chah" (as in "chat") + "moo" (as in "moon") + "YEH" (as in "yes") + "roh" (as in "row")/

Meaning

A smooth talker who says all the right things to charm you, but probably doesn't mean any of it. In Argentina and Uruguay, a chamullero is that guy who sweet-talks you with beautiful words, makes you fall for him, and then vanishes. It comes from "chamullo" (sweet talk or game), and it's used a lot in the context of dating and flirting.

Examples

Don't believe a word he says, he's a top-tier smooth talker.

Did you see how he talked to her? That guy is such a sweet talker.

/Sounds like "chah" (as in "chat") + "moo" (as in "moon") + "YEH" (as in "yes") + "roh" (as in "row")/

Meaning

In Peru, a liar who invents or exaggerates everything just to convince you. You can't believe a word a chamullero says, not even the time of day.

Examples

That liar promises you the world and delivers nothing.

Don't listen to him, he's a total BS artist.

Something completely awesome, maxed out at the highest level. The extreme intensification of the Venezuelan and Caribbean "chevere": not just good, but absolutely incredible, beyond all expectations.
