EN: affectation, fussiness, pretentiousness (colloquial)
The kingdom of 'eme,' 'charot,' and 'chos.' It's all the unnecessary drama, the extra steps in your skincare you know you don't need, the pa-mysterious effect on social media. Basically, anything that makes you go, 'Arte mo, girl!' It's the fuss, the fluff, the non-essential but sometimes entertaining BS.
From the gay lingo/slang word 'eme' (meaning 'whatever' or used as a filler) + -an suffix.
ROOT MEANING: whatever; thingamajig; just kidding
This is a very popular slang term, often used humorously to call out someone's pretentiousness or unnecessary actions.
