Your word isn't here yet

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

/Sounds like "trah" (as in "tract") + "EHR" (as in "egg") + "EHN" (as in "egg") + "treh" (as in "tread") + "OH" (as in "oh") + "hohs" (as in "hope")/

Meaning

To have it in for someone, to hold a quiet grudge and be constantly watching for any excuse to go after them. In Mexico, when someone "te trae entre ojos" they have you in their sights and everything you do gets scrutinized.

Examples

The boss has had it in for me ever since I said that in the meeting.

I feel like you have something against me, what did I ever do to you?

Regional synonyms

A grilled slice of provolone cheese, melted on the outside with a golden crust and creamy inside, an unmissable starter at any Argentine asado. No real asado is complete without provoleta.
