Your word isn't here yet

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

/Sounds like "DEH" (as in "debt") + "RAH" (as in "rapper") + "toh" (as in "toll") + "EHN" (as in "egg") + "RAH" (as in "rapper") + "toh" (as in "toll")/

Meaning

Every now and then, occasionally, with some irregular frequency but no fixed pattern in Mexico. Not all the time but not never either, it's that imprecise middle ground only context can define.

Examples

Every now and then I get the urge to travel.

I see him at the park every once in a while.

Regional synonyms

A young man or boy, often used affectionately or in a derogatory manner depending on the context and tone.
