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

/Sounds like "moh" (as in "more") + "noh" (as in "note") + "KOO" (as in "cool") + "koh" (as in "coat")/

Meaning

A full-body costume that covers everything, leaving the wearer completely unrecognizable. In Colombia and Venezuela, monocuco is the classic children's costume, the go-to outfit for Carnival or Halloween when total anonymity is the goal.

Examples

Los niños salieron de monocucos en el carnaval y nadie los reconocía.

The kids went out in full-body costumes at Carnival and nobody recognized them.

What are you going as this year? I'm going in a full disguise so nobody sees me.

Regional synonyms

Really pissed off, furious, wanting to break everything and tell everyone to go to hell. It's the vulgar but absolutely honest way of saying you're fed up beyond all limits.
