Your word isn't here yet

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

/Sounds like "kwehr" (as in "quest") + "neh" (as in "net") + "AHR" (as in "art")/

Meaning

In Mexico, to cheat on your partner. Cuernear is the blunt everyday verb for infidelity, direct and loaded with the social weight that comes with betrayal in a culture where loyalty is taken very seriously.

Examples

He cheated on her with their mutual best friend, what an absolute betrayal.

Everyone knows he is cheating on you except you.

Word family

A country bumpkin or someone who seems hopelessly out of touch with urban life, culture, and trends. In Spain, "paleto" is what city people call someone who seems provincial, socially awkward, or simply behind the times. Not the harshest insult in the book, but definitely a condescending snub.
