/Sounds like 'GAH-toh en-seh-RAH-doh'/
Something suspicious lurking beneath the surface — the sense that there's a hidden agenda or secret behind what's being presented. In Spain and Latin America, when something has 'gato encerrado', you know not everything is as it appears.
"Aquí hay gato encerrado, ¿por qué lo venden tan barato?"
"Me olía a gato encerrado desde que me hicieron esa propuesta. → Something's fishy here, why are they selling it so cheap?"
"I smelled something off about it from the moment they made me that offer."
