/Sounds like "KWEHN" (as in "quest") + "toh" (as in "toll")/
A lie, a made-up excuse, or an exaggerated story someone feeds you to justify their behavior or get away with something. Used widely from Mexico to Spain and the Caribbean whenever someone tries to spin a tale instead of telling the truth.

“Everything he told you was pure fiction so you would not get angry.”

Qué xopá
