Your word isn't here yet

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

/Sounds like "lah" (as in "lava") + "meh" (as in "met") + "BEE" (as in "bee") + "choh" (as in "chose")/

Meaning

A servile, overly flattering person who does whatever the boss commands just to get in their good graces. The Central American version of the suck-up, raw and unfiltered.

Examples

That suck-up applauds even the director's mistakes.

Don't be a yes-man, say what you think.

Drunk in Chile. Curado is the everyday Chilean word for someone who has had too many. The name comes from "curar," to cure or ferment, echoing homemade alcohol traditions. Not particularly vulgar, just a plain, casual way to describe someone who has had a few too many.
