/Sounds like "kohr" (as in "coat") + "TAHR" (as in "tar")/

Meaning

To break up with your partner, that painful moment when someone says "it's not working" and everything falls apart. It can be mutual or one-sided, but it always hurts and is always followed by a sad playlist.

Examples

She broke up with her boyfriend after three years.

They dumped me over WhatsApp, how cowardly.

Regional synonyms

To set someone up or conspire against them behind their back. In Argentina, Chile, Spain, and Uruguay, when someone "makes your bed" for you it means they worked behind the scenes to get you removed, discredited, or caught off guard. The metaphor is the trap already laid and waiting.
