Your word isn't here yet

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

/Sounds like "eh" (as in "egg") + "CHAHR" (as in "chat") + "seh" (as in "set") + "OON" (as in "Uber") + "koh" (as in "coat") + "yoh" (as in "yoke") + "TEE" (as in "tea") + "toh" (as in "toll")/

Meaning

To take a quick little nap, just a few minutes to recharge your energy. This is a cute Mexican expression that paints the image of curling up like a little coyote for a brief snooze before getting back to your day.

Examples

I'm gonna take a quick nap before heading out.

I took a 20 minute nap and felt brand new.

Regional synonyms

An embarrassing or ridiculous moment that exposes you in front of everyone. In Argentina, making a 'papelón' is social death, you tripped, said something wrong, or got caught in a lie and now everyone saw it. The cringe lives forever.
