Your word isn't here yet

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

/Sounds like "behn" (as in "bed") + "deh" (as in "debt") + "OO" (as in "Uber") + "moh" (as in "more")/

Meaning

In Argentina, someone who over-promises and under-delivers, living off big talk and appearances with nothing to back it up. Like a smoke-seller: all puff, no substance.

Examples

That coach is all talk, he charges a fortune and teaches you nothing.

Don't believe the politician, same old empty promises.
