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

/Sounds like "seh" (as in "set") + "BOH" (as in "boat") + "soh" (as in "solo")/

Meaning

In Chile, a sycophant or brown-noser who goes out of their way to please anyone in a position of power. The Chilean equivalent of Argentina's "chupamedias" or Colombia's "pelota": someone who fawns over the boss without being asked.

Examples

That kiss-up brings the boss his coffee every morning without anyone asking.

Don't be a suck-up, say what you actually think even if nobody wants to hear it.

Word family

To make plans to meet up with someone at a specific place and time in Mexico. Even if the plan is set perfectly, there's always the chance someone cancels last minute without an ounce of shame.
