What does ser un jeta mean?
Expression
a chancer, a freeloader
La jeta is also the face, and un jeta is somebody who lives off having a thick one: never pays, always has an excuse. It is a step beyond tener morro, because it describes the whole person rather than the moment. The form does not change for a woman: ella es una jeta.
No ha pagado ni una vez. ¡Es un jeta!
