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

/Sounds like "ah" (as in "art") + "SEHR" (as in "set") + "TOHS" (as in "toll")/

Meaning

To start drama, a fight, or a scene over something in Mexico. Someone who "hace tos" goes looking for conflict or gets stubborn about something they could just let go.

Examples

Don't make a big deal out of such a small thing, just leave it.

He showed up drunk looking for trouble and got kicked out of the club.

Regional synonyms

Venezuelan augmentative of "coño" used for a hard hit or a situation that demands considerable effort. Different from the Spanish use, where coñazo means something tedious. In Venezuela, it is all about impact.
