/Sounds like "teh" (as in "ten") + "NEHR" (as in "net") + "MOO" (as in "moon") + "chah" (as in "chat") + "HEH" (as in "help") + "tah" (as in "tar")/

Meaning

To have a lot of nerve, audacity, or shamelessness. 'Jeta' literally means face, and having a very big one means having absolutely no shame about doing or asking for anything.

What a nerve this guy has!
