Your word isn't here yet

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

/Sounds like "hoh" (as in "hope") + "DOHN" (as in "door")/

Meaning

The person who is always joking around, teasing, or messing with people. There is no such thing as a serious moment when this person is around.

Examples

My uncle is a total joker, he cannot even hold it together at a funeral.

Do not tell that clown your plans, he will turn everything into a punchline.

Word family

An ironic Spanish expression for something that arrived way too late to be of any use. Used when help, news, or action finally shows up long after it could have made a real difference. The full phrase is often "a buenas horas mangas verdes," referring to the green-sleeved officers who always showed up after the trouble was already over.
