Your word isn't here yet

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

/Sounds like "beh" (as in "bed") + "neh" (as in "net") + "NOH" (as in "note") + "soh" (as in "solo")/

Meaning

A toxic person who damages others through words or actions while keeping a friendly face. Literally "venomous," the effect is exactly that: slow-acting, subtle damage. The venenoso smiles while spreading rumors, stirs up trouble, then plays innocent.

Examples

That toxic person spread rumors about me throughout the whole company.

That guy is venomous, he turns everything into a problem.

To tell someone to get lost or get out of your life, to dismiss them firmly without much ceremony. It is the polite-ish version of telling someone where to go, but the message lands just as clearly. Used across Spain and most of Latin America.
