/Sounds like "tee" (as in "tea") + "RAHR" (as in "rapper") + "LOHS" (as in "loan") + "TEH" (as in "ten") + "hohs" (as in "hope")/

Meaning

To flirt deliberately or make a move on someone in Spain, throwing obvious hints of romantic interest and waiting to see if they land. The name comes from tejo, a stone you throw in a traditional game. When you tirar los tejos, you are not being subtle.

Examples

If he's coming on to you and you're not interested, be straightforward about it.
