Your word isn't here yet

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

/Sounds like "tee" (as in "tea") + "RAHR" (as in "rapper") + "LAH" (as in "lava") + "peh" (as in "pet") + "LOH" (as in "loan") + "tah" (as in "tar")/

Meaning

To pass the buck, to dodge responsibility by pushing it onto someone else. Like tossing a ball to the next person so you do not have to deal with it. Common in Argentina and Uruguay when talking about people who avoid taking ownership of a problem.

Examples

He always passes the buck to me when there's a problem.

Don't pass the buck to me, it's your responsibility.

A completely messy place with stuff thrown everywhere with no order whatsoever. In Mexico, a tiradero is the natural state of a teenager's room who swears they know where everything is. Think of it as the Spanish word for "a total mess" or "a pigsty.".
