Your word isn't here yet

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

/Sounds like "tee" (as in "tea") + "GREE" (as in "greet") + "toh" (as in "toll")/

Meaning

A small, quick informal job done on the side to earn a little extra in Venezuela. The "tigrito" is the hustle of the day, that extra bit of cash that always comes in handy.

Examples

I picked up a side gig fixing computers this weekend.

With one odd job here and there you can cover your expenses.

Regional synonyms

Cheap, costing little or less than expected. The magic word when you are shopping, bargaining, or just trying to make your budget stretch. Everyone is always looking for the barato option, and the vendor will always insist the price cannot go lower. It usually can.
