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

/Sounds like "trah" (as in "tract") + "GAHR" (as in "garden") + "seh" (as in "set")/

Meaning

To swallow a lie whole without questioning it, to get completely fooled by a made-up story. It's when someone tells you total BS and you buy it entirely without a second thought.

Examples

He swallowed the whole story and it turned out to be a lie.

Don't swallow everything you read on the internet.

Regional synonyms

A vulgar Colombian expression meaning to have sex. Literally translating to "hit the stuffed animal," it is a playful, street level way to talk about hooking up. Used mostly among male friends in casual, informal settings, it carries a humorous tone rather than a crude one.
