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

/Sounds like "koh" (as in "coat") + "MEHR" (as in "met") + "KWEHN" (as in "quest") + "toh" (as in "toll")/

Meaning

To believe easily everything someone tells you without questioning, swallowing any lie that's well-packaged.

Examples

He swallowed the salesperson's story and paid double.

Don't believe the hype, that offer is a trap.

Regional synonyms

In the Dominican Republic, "guapo" means angry or in a bad mood, not handsome like in the rest of the Spanish-speaking world. A classic false friend that causes real confusion: what sounds like a compliment is actually a warning to back off.
