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") + "seh" (as in "set") + "EHN" (as in "egg") + "SOOS" (as in "soup") + "TREH" (as in "tread") + "seh" (as in "set")/

Meaning

To dig in stubbornly on a position and refuse to budge, even when everyone around you has solid arguments against it. In Mexico and Guatemala, whoever se mete en sus trece has made up their mind and no amount of reasoning will change it.

Examples

Se metió en sus trece y rechazó el presupuesto aunque todos lo apoyaban.

He dug his heels in and rejected the budget even though everyone backed it.

Para de meterte en tus trece y revisa bien la propuesta.

Stop being so stubborn and take a proper look at the proposal.

A thin beef loin sandwich with lettuce, tomato, mayo, and sometimes a fried egg, a classic in Argentina and Uruguay. Think of it as the more refined sibling of the choripán: same street-food spirit, but with a slightly more polished vibe.
