Your word isn't here yet

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

/Sounds like "CHOH" (as in "chose") + "roh" (as in "row") + "mah" (as in "mark") + "reh" (as in "red") + "ah" (as in "art") + "DOHR" (as in "door")/

Meaning

A long, confusing speech designed to convince you, distract you, or weasel someone out of a tight spot. In Mexico, a choro mareador is all fancy words and zero substance: the kind of talk that leaves you dizzy ("mareado") and unsure what just happened. Salespeople, politicians, and that friend who owes you money are all experts.

Examples

Enough with the runaround, just tell me the truth already.

The salesman gave me a half-hour pitch and I almost bought something.

To unnecessarily complicate something that is simple, to look for problems where there are none. The one who looks for three feet on the cat always finds problems.
