Your word isn't here yet

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

/Sounds like the English word "chusm" + "eh" (as in "egg") + "AHR" (as in "art")/

Meaning

To snoop or stick your nose into other people's business. In Argentina and Uruguay, chusmear is practically a national pastime: it happens over WhatsApp group chats, through the window, or by deep-diving into someone's social media. The word carries no serious judgment; it is just what curious, social people do.

Examples

I spent the whole night snooping my ex's Instagram and found out he already has a new girlfriend.

My neighbor spends all day peeking through the window watching everyone.

Word family

A romantic manipulation tactic where someone promises shared plans and a future together that they never intend to follow through on, just to keep the other person hooked.
