/Sounds like "ehs" (as in "egg") + "TAHR" (as in "tar") + "EHN" (as in "egg") + "EHL" (as in "egg") + "AH" (as in "art") + "hoh" (as in "hope")/

Everyone in that office was in on the scam.

Regional synonyms

A blockhead or dimwit who makes the most basic mistakes over and over, in Spain, Argentina, and Chile. A zoquete is not just clueless once: they are consistently, reliably wrong no matter how patiently you explain things.
