Your word isn't here yet

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

/Sounds like "teh" (as in "ten") + "NEHR" (as in "net") + "KOO" (as in "cool") + "loh" (as in "loan")/

Meaning

In Argentina and Uruguay, to be incredibly lucky, to have things work out without really deserving it. Tener culo is unearned, shameless good fortune, and everyone around you knows it.

Examples

That guy has all the luck in the world, everything always works out for him.

You lucky thing, you passed the exam without even studying.

A lot, a ton, or an exaggerated amount in Spain. Saying "me costó un huevo" means it was extremely expensive or difficult, one of the most-used Spanish expressions for emphasizing anything.
