/Sounds like "meh" + "es" (as in "essay") + "tahs" + "car" (as in the vehicle) + "gahn" (as in "gone") + "doe" (as in the animal)/
The Argentine way of saying "Are you kidding me?" or "Are you messing with me?" Used when something is so absurd or unbelievable that it feels like a joke. You will hear it when someone gets an outrageous bill, hears a ridiculous excuse, or witnesses something too crazy to be real.
"¿Tres mil pesos por un café? ¿Me estás cargando? -> Three thousand pesos for a coffee? Are you kidding me?"
"Me dijo que llegaba a las ocho y apareció a las doce. ¿Me estás cargando? -> He told me he'd be there at eight and showed up at twelve. Are you messing with me?"
