Your word isn't here yet

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

/Sounds like "DEHL" (as in "debt") + "OHR" (as in "oh") + "toh" (as in "toll")/

Meaning

Terrible, very bad, or of poor quality. In Argentina, 'del orto' is the most direct way to say something or someone is worthless, applies to situations, products, or people equally.

Examples

The service here is awful, I'm never coming back.

Yesterday was a terrible day, everything went wrong.

A Peruvian dish of thin-sliced raw fish bathed in lime juice and yellow chili sauce. The tiradito is ceviche's more elegant sibling, softer, more refined, but just as addictive.
