Your word isn't here yet

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

/Sounds like "weh" (as in "west") + "boh" (as in "boat") + "NAH" (as in "nacho") + "dah" (as in "dart")/

Meaning

Something trivial, unimportant, or not worth stressing about. Can also mean something done poorly with no effort or care. Used across Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Mexico, Peru, and Venezuela with the same dismissive vibe.

Examples

Don't stress over that nonsense, nobody's going to remember it in two days.

He turned in total garbage work and they sent him home.

Word family

To get a serious dressing-down, called out harshly and directly in Mexico. When someone bajas el cirio on you, the person in front is furious and not holding back a single word. Usually comes from a boss, a parent, or anyone with authority over you.
