/Sounds like the English word "huev" + "eh" (as in "egg") + "AH" (as in "art") + "dah" (as in "dart")/

Meaning

A dumb thing, stupidity, or unthinking statement or action in Costa Rican Spanish. "Qué hueveada" is the Tico reaction to any absurd comment, ridiculous decision, or poorly thought-out plan. It comes from "huevón" but became a noun describing specifically the dumb action or word, not the person. Used daily and with total ease among Ticos of all ages.

Examples

What a dumb thing to say.

He had the dumb idea to invest.
