Your word isn't here yet

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

/Sounds like "CHEHR" (as in "check") + "chah" (as in "chat")/

Meaning

Joking around, teasing, and goofing off in the Dominican Republic: a state of pure, unfiltered fun where nothing is serious and the laughter does not stop. When a group is in chercha mode, do not expect anything productive to get done.

Examples

Cut it out with the jokes, this is actually serious.

Everything is a joke with you guys, there is no way to have a real conversation.
