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

/Sounds like "oon" (as in "Uber") + "dehrs" (as in "debt") + "toh" (as in "toll") + "OHD" (as in "oh") + the English word "the" (same pronunciation) + "ahs" (as in "art") + "seegn" (as in "see") + "MEHNT" (as in "met")/

Meaning

Examples

Ate that

A classic childhood comeback phrase, said in full: "botellita de jerez, todo lo que digas será al revés" (little bottle of sherry, everything you say will be reversed). It is the ultimate verbal shield kids use in Mexican elementary schools to bounce back any insult. Think of it as the Spanish equivalent of "I am rubber, you are glue." Adults sometimes use it ironically to be funny or nostalgic.
