/Sounds like "MOH" (as in "more") + "koh" (as in "coat")/

Meaning

Something of little value or importance. The most common phrase is "no es moco de pavo" (not turkey snot), which means the opposite: this thing is actually significant and should not be underestimated. A strange but memorable metaphor for downplaying or upgrading something's importance depending on how you use it.

Examples

Eso no es moco de pavo, requirió meses de trabajo para concretarse.

That is no small thing, it took months of work to pull off.

Le ofrecieron un puesto de lo más moco y lo rechazó.

They offered him a pretty unimpressive position and he turned it down.

Regional synonyms

At full capacity, running at maximum energy, or completely swamped. Can describe a person who is totally in the zone or a place that is packed to the brim.
