Your word isn't here yet

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

/Sounds like the English word "raj" + "eh" (as in "egg") + "AHR" (as in "art")/

Meaning

To talk badly about someone behind their back, without the courage to say it to their face. In Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, and El Salvador, rajear is gossip with intent to damage someone's reputation, not just sharing something juicy.

Examples

They talk behind his back at the office, but when he's there everyone acts like friends.

Stop talking trash about people, what you say always gets back to them.

Word family

Someone who is exhausting or annoying to be around. A pesado drags the group's energy down without realizing it, whether through constant complaining, pushiness, or just having zero social awareness. Used across Spain, Argentina, Mexico, and Colombia.
