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

/Sounds like "lah" (as in "lava") + "beh" (as in "bed") + "REEN" (as in "reed") + "toh" (as in "toll")/

Meaning

A person who overcomplicates everything with twisted logic and confusing explanations, or a situation that has no clear way out. In Venezuela calling someone a "laberinto" means their way of talking or acting creates more confusion than clarity.

Examples

No le preguntes a él, es un laberinto ambulante.

Don't ask him anything, he just makes everything more confusing.

Este proyecto es un laberinto, no sé por dónde empezar a desenredarlo.

This project is a total maze, I don't even know where to start untangling it.
