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

/Sounds like "ehs" (as in "egg") + "TAHR" (as in "tar") + "EHN" (as in "egg") + "CHEE" (as in "cheek") + "noh" (as in "note") + "mahn" (as in "mark") + "dah" (as in "dart") + "REEN" (as in "reed")/

Meaning

Completely incomprehensible, total gibberish. In Mexico and Spain, when something "está en chino mandarín" it makes zero sense to you, just like hearing Mandarin Chinese with no context. The maximum level of "I have no idea what you just said."

Examples

The explanation went completely over my head, I understood nothing.

What you sent me is total gibberish, explain it to me.

Regional synonyms

In Venezuela, a person or thing that brings bad luck and ruins everything it touches. A "pavoso" gets blamed whenever something goes wrong just for being there, as if they carry a curse.
