Your word isn't here yet

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") + "EHL" (as in "egg") + "AH" (as in "art") + "hoh" (as in "hope")/

Meaning

To be in on it, involved in a scheme or secret plan. In Spain if you're en el ajo you're part of the inner circle that knows what's really going on.

Examples

I was in on the plan from the very beginning.

Everyone in that office was in on the scam.

Regional synonyms

In Colombia and Chile, one million pesos. Instead of saying "un millón" with all those zeros, people just say "un palo." It makes talking about big sums way more casual in everyday conversation about salaries, prices, and purchases.
