Your word isn't here yet

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

/Sounds like "mohn" (as in "more") + "TAHR" (as in "tar") + "OON" (as in "Uber") + "POH" (as in "port") + "yoh" (as in "yoke")/

Meaning

Causing a public scandal, making a scene, or arguing loudly. In Spain, making a big fuss is equivalent to stirring up trouble or making a big deal out of something.

Examples

He made a huge scene at the supermarket over absolutely nothing.

Don't cause a scene here, take it somewhere private.

Regional synonyms

An intense chill, shiver, or cold sensation that runs through the body. In Colombia, having a chucho means you're genuinely freezing, not just a little cool, but shaking from the cold.
