Your word isn't here yet

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

/Sounds like "soh" (as in "solo") + "REH" (as in "red") + "teh" (as in "ten")/

Meaning

A strong insult that literally means excrement. Used for someone despicable, backstabbing, or just plain awful. One of the most direct put-downs in Río de la Plata Spanish.

Examples

That jerk stole my parking spot without blinking.

How do you do that to a friend? You are such a piece of work.

Regional synonyms

Rush or urgency to do something quickly. In Colombia this is the standard word for being in a hurry, and saying "yo afán no tengo" is the perfect phrase to slow someone down when they are pressuring you to move faster.
