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

/Sounds like "CHEHN" (as in "check") + "doh" (as in "door")/

Meaning

An Ecuadorian expression for "just kidding" or "I did not mean that." You drop "chendo" to clarify that what you just said was not serious, especially when someone took it the wrong way. The quick verbal safety net you reach for when a joke lands badly.

Examples

Just kidding, do not get offended, it was only a joke.

I was messing around, seriously do not take that literally.
