Add a word/Sounds like "tah" (as in "tar") + "MAH" (as in "mark") + "leh" (as in "let")/
Meaning
Gossip or a rumor that grows out of control as it travels from person to person, each retelling adding a new layer of distortion. In Colombia, a tamale is a story that starts small and ends up causing far more damage than the original fact ever warranted.
Examples
“That guy is spreading gossip all over the workplace.”
“Don't blow it out of proportion, it was just a misunderstanding.”
