Your word isn't here yet

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

/Sounds like "ah" (as in "art") + "BREER" (as in "breeze") + "seh" (as in "set")/

Meaning

To leave a place in Argentina and Uruguay without looking back or giving explanations. When you decide you've had enough, you just abrís and leave everyone and everything right where they are, guilt-free.

Examples

The word comes from "pelma," a dense sticky mass, which is exactly how it feels to be around one.
