Your word isn't here yet

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

/Sounds like "MOH" (as in "more") + "lah" (as in "lava")/

Meaning

A Spanish expression meaning it's awesome, it rocks, it's cool, I love it. It's the most homegrown informal verb for expressing total approval of anything you think is great or interesting.

Examples

Your new car is sick, it looks amazing.

That's cool, count me in.

It sucks having to work on a Sunday.

A public embarrassment big enough for everyone to witness and remember. Making a papelón means you messed up in front of an audience: forgot your speech, fell down the stairs at work, or said something completely wrong in a meeting. The shame has witnesses.
