Your word isn't here yet

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

/Sounds like "SEHR" (as in "set") + "KOH" (as in "coat") + "doh" (as in "door")/

Meaning

To be cheap or tight-fisted with money in Mexico, the kind of person who never treats, never chips in, and always finds creative excuses to dodge the bill. Nobody wants to go out with a codo.

Examples

Don't be cheap, pitch in for the pizza.

He's super stingy, never leaves a tip.

Word family

In Colombia, flat broke with nothing to spare, not even bus fare. You are surviving on creativity alone until payday rolls around.
