/mo-LO-te/
A chaotic commotion, brawl, or mass disturbance when a large group gets worked up at once. In Mexico and Central America, a 'molote' breaks out fast and spreads faster — a fight at a party, a protest that turns physical, a market dispute that pulls in everyone nearby.
"A brawl broke out at the concert and the show had to stop."
"Don't go in there — there's a huge commotion going on."
