/Sounds like the English word "chot" + "eh" (as in "egg") + "AHR" (as in "art")/
To snitch, rat someone out, or spill a secret you were supposed to keep. Used in Argentina and Uruguay, often ironically: the person who talks the most about staying quiet is usually the first to chotear.
“The one who snitched on the group was the one who swore the most to stay quiet.”
“Don't tell him anything, he blabs everything he knows.”
/Sounds like the English word "chot" + "eh" (as in "egg") + "AHR" (as in "art")/
To ruin or spoil a situation that was going well, usually through carelessness, bad luck, or saying something you should not have. In Argentina and Uruguay, the person who chotea everything is the one who reliably messes things up every time.
“He ruined the whole plan with what he blurted out without thinking.”
“Everything he touches falls apart, that guy has terrible luck.”
