Your word isn't here yet

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

/Sounds like "foo" (as in "food") + "MAHR" (as in "mark") + "seh" (as in "set")/

Meaning

To put up with, endure, or tolerate something or someone really irritating. In Argentina and the Southern Cone, when you 'te fumás' something, you're swallowing the aggravation and dealing with it, whether you like it or not.

Examples

Me tuve que fumar dos horas de reunión sin decir nada.

I had to sit through two hours of meeting without saying a word.

I'm not putting up with his tantrums anymore, enough is enough.

A clever or sneaky move in Peru to get an advantage, usually at someone else's expense. Making a "jugada" means being sly and calculated while keeping a straight face.
