Your word isn't here yet

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

/Sounds like the English word "no" (same pronunciation) + "koh" (as in "coat") + "MEHR" (as in "met") + "KWEHN" (as in "quest") + "toh" (as in "toll")/

Meaning

In Colombia and Venezuela, to refuse to be fooled or taken in by stories and excuses. Someone who "no come cuento" has probably been burned before and will not accept anything without solid proof. They are sharp, skeptical, and very hard to manipulate.

Examples

Don't come to me with nonsense, I saw it with my own eyes.

That guy doesn't buy any story, he needs concrete facts before he believes anything.

Regional synonyms

Someone obsessed or way too intense about something or someone, to the point where they simply cannot let it go. Very popular on Argentine and Uruguayan social media for calling out people who are fixated on a topic, a crush, or an ex. Basically the Spanish equivalent of being "down bad" or terminally obsessed.
