Your word isn't here yet

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

/Sounds like "KWEHN" (as in "quest") + "tah" (as in "tar") + "meh" (as in "met") + "OH" (as in "oh") + "trah" (as in "tract")/

Meaning

An expression of total disbelief, the response you give when someone says something you find utterly unconvincing. The Spanish equivalent of "yeah, right" or "pull the other one." Used widely across Spanish-speaking countries.

Examples

He was late because of traffic? Yeah, right.

He told me he had no idea what happened and I said sure, tell me another one.

Word family

To gossip and talk behind people's backs with all the juicy details about their private lives. In Venezuela and Colombia, "comadrear" describes someone who is more invested in other people's business than their own, and does it regularly and enthusiastically.
