/Sounds like "mohs" (as in "more") + "keh" (as in "kept") + "AH" (as in "art") + "doh" (as in "door")/

Meaning

Feeling suspicious or uneasy, like something is off and someone is hiding something from you. In Spain, "mosqueado" captures that gut-level distrust when a person or situation gives you a bad vibe. It can also mean simply feeling annoyed or irritated.

Examples

I'm suspicious of that guy, something tells me he's not being straight with me.

I got a bad feeling the whole time because he would not look me in the eyes once.

Regional synonyms
