Your word isn't here yet

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

/Sounds like "toh" (as in "toll") + "keh" (as in "kept") + "AHR" (as in "art")/

Meaning

To give someone a single ring on their phone so they call back and spend their own credit. In Mexico, where prepaid phones are the norm, toquear is the universal hack: one buzz means "I'm here" or "call me back," and everyone understands. No credit wasted.

Examples

Give me a ring when you arrive.

I am out of credit, I will just ring you once and you call me back.
