Your word isn't here yet

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

/Sounds like "GWAH" (as in "Guam") + "tah" (as in "tar")/

Meaning

Belly or gut in Chile, the body part that betrays your weekend food excesses. When the guata grows, it's a sign that the empanadas and beers are winning the battle.

Examples

My belly hurts from eating so much at the family dinner.

This summer I really need to get rid of this gut once and for all.
