What does "chamelar" mean in Spanish?

Question

I know it means "to something" b/c it ends in ar, but I don't know what and neither does Google or my dictionary.

I meant what I said and I said what I meant. An elephant's faithful, blah, blah, blah... I don't mean the bean thing, I mean chamelar.

Yesterday, my Spanish teacher said it means "to gossip." So you're all wrong!!!!!!

But thank you anyway ;)
that domino thing was interesting.

Answer 1

There IS a verb "chamelar" in Spanish. It's a term used by Dominoes players.

It's a kind of substitution of some dominoes for others but since I don't really play dominoes I can't exactly explain it to you.

"chamelo" derives from Catalan 'xamelo' and it's the name given to a variety of Dominoes.

I've no idea what the word is in English.

Answer 2

My usual dictionary doesn't have it.

So, on to the RAE:

It is a term used in a specific type of game of dominoes:


chamelar.

(De chamelo).


1. intr. Dicho de un jugador: En el juego de dominó llamado chamelo, sustituir las fichas que le han correspondido por otras tantas de las que quedan en la mesa. Dicho jugador gana o pierde el doble de cada tanto.
