Bandera de México

/to-re-AR/

To dodge, avoid, or deliberately ignore someone or something you don't want to deal with. In Mexico, 'torear' is the art of evasion — sidestepping a question, ghosting a person, or navigating around a problem without ever facing it directly. Named after the matador's moves.

Example

"You're dodging me — I know you're home."

"He dodged every one of the boss's questions throughout the whole meeting."
