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

/Sounds like "GOH" (as in "go") + "mah" (as in "mark")/

Meaning

An eraser for removing pencil marks in Argentina, Chile, and Spain. Careful: in Costa Rica 'goma' means a hangover, and in other contexts it can mean something completely different.

Examples

Lend me your eraser, I made a mistake.

The eraser is already too tiny to use.

To impress or dazzle someone, whether with money, skills, looks, or knowledge. In Mexico, apantallar often has a slightly ironic edge: the person showing off is trying a little too hard to get that admiring reaction. Think flashy cars, name-dropping, or pulling out a fancy move at exactly the right moment.
