Add a word/Sounds like "mee" (as in "me") + "TOH" (as in "toll") + "teh" (as in "ten")/
Meaning
In Mexico, gossip, drama, or the social buzz that erupts when people cannot stop talking about something. The word comes from Nahuatl "mitotl," a loud ritual dance, and that energy of everyone talking at once is exactly what a mitote feels like.
Examples
“Did you hear about the drama at work?”
“Do not stir up gossip, handle things privately instead of making a scene.”
