/Sounds like "toh" (as in "toll") + "reh" (as in "red") + "AHR" (as in "art")/
To dodge, avoid, or sidestep someone or something you do not want to confront. In Mexico the bullfighting metaphor is perfect: the matador evades the bull without finishing it off. Someone who "torea" you keeps ducking the issue without ever resolving it.
“You're dodging me, I know you're home.”
“He dodged every single one of the boss's questions throughout the entire meeting.”
