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

/Sounds like "ehs" (as in "egg") + "TAHR" (as in "tar") + "DEH" (as in "debt") + "KOH" (as in "coat") + "nyah" (as in "Nyan")/

Meaning

To be joking around, messing about, or not being serious at all. Asking someone if they're 'de cona' is the Spanish way of saying 'are you pulling my leg?' or 'are you for real right now?'.

Examples

Are you serious right now? I don't believe it.

Don't get mad, I'm just messing around, it was a joke.

A Spanish expression for someone who absolutely refuses to work, not even lifting a finger. The imagery comes from rowing: not giving a single stroke means not moving at all. Always used in the negative, always with a tone of reproach.
