Your word isn't here yet

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

/Sounds like "sahn" (as in "salsa") + "KOH" (as in "coat") + "choh" (as in "chose")/

Meaning

A confused, disorganized mess of ideas, arguments, or elements thrown together with no coherence. When a meeting, plan, or explanation is a sancocho, nothing connects and no one can make sense of it. The word borrows from the name of the hearty stew: everything gets thrown in at once.

Examples

The meeting was a total mess, nobody agreed on anything.

That argument is a jumble, it mixes things that have nothing to do with each other.
