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

/Sounds like "moh" (as in "more") + "ROH" (as in "row") + "chah" (as in "chat")/

Meaning

A woman with dark hair or a darker complexion. In Argentina and Uruguay, it is used as a compliment or affectionate descriptor, without the negative undertones that "morena" can carry elsewhere in Latin America. Think of it as the River Plate version of "brunette," but warmer.

Examples

I love dark-haired women, there is something special about them I cannot explain.

That brunette over there is looking at you, go say hi.

Regional synonyms

A scatterbrained or impulsive person who acts without thinking and consistently makes a mess of things through pure recklessness. In Colombia and Venezuela, the atolondrado is always rushing but somehow always the last to arrive, with everything upside down and no idea what went wrong.
