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") + the English word "show" (same pronunciation)/

Meaning

To make a scene, throw a dramatic fit, or draw excessive attention to yourself in public. In the Caribbean, "montar un show" is full emotional theater: loud, unavoidable, and usually over something that nobody else thinks warrants that level of performance.

Examples

She made a huge scene at the airport because she missed her flight by five minutes.

Don't make a scene here, people are watching.
