Your word isn't here yet

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

/Sounds like "dehs" (as in "debt") + "kah" (as in "car") + "RAH" (as in "rapper") + "doh" (as in "door")/

Meaning

A shameless person who says or does whatever they want without any pudor or concern for how it looks. In Colombia and Venezuela the descarado doesn't care, what others wouldn't dare, they do without a second thought.

Examples

What nerve! He cut in line without any shame.

He was called shameless because he showed up late with no excuse.

Word family

For nothing, in vain, without any result whatsoever. From Argentine lunfardo, possibly from Italian "al cazzo." When effort goes "al cohete," you put in the time, the work, or the wait, and got absolutely nothing back for it.
