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

/Sounds like "sah" (as in "salsa") + "KAHR" (as in "car") + "LAH" (as in "lava") + "BWEHL" + "tah" (as in "tar")/

Meaning

To cheat on your partner behind their back, especially in Peru and Ecuador. Sacar la vuelta is the romantic betrayal nobody wants to discover but that always comes to light sooner or later.

Don't slack off on me, I need you to do this today.

Regional synonyms

To feel overwhelmed, anxious, or uncomfortable from being surrounded by too many people in a tight space. In Mexico it's that claustrophobic feeling that hits when crowds close in on you.
