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

/Sounds like the English word "les" + "eh" (as in "egg") + "AHR" (as in "art")/

Meaning

To mess around, joke, waste time on nonsense, or playfully bother someone. In Chile, 'lesear' covers everything from lighthearted goofing off to genuinely getting in someone's way. Among friends it's harmless fun; when you're supposed to be working, it's a problem.

Examples

Stop messing around and start studying.

We were goofing off at recess when the teacher walked in.
