Your word isn't here yet

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

/Sounds like "meh" (as in "met") + "TEHR" (as in "ten") + "lah" (as in "lava") + "doh" (as in "door") + "BLAH" (as in "blah") + "dah" (as in "dart")/

Meaning

To deceive someone brazenly and without any attempt at subtlety, to swindle in the most shameless way possible. In Spain and Argentina, the person who la mete doblada does not even bother hiding it.

Examples

They ripped you off with that price, the thing is worth half of what you paid.

The seller scammed us and we didn't even realize it until later.

Regional synonyms
Bandera de España
Timar

Maybe, perhaps, possibly. In Argentina and Uruguay, capaz is the casual way to express uncertainty without committing to anything. It leaves the door open because, honestly, who really knows how the afternoon is going to turn out.
