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

/Sounds like "ah" (as in "art") + "gah" (as in "garden") + "RRAHR" + "LAH" (as in "lava") + "FYEHS" + "tah" (as in "tar")/

Meaning

When a party really kicks into high gear, that moment when things go from chill to absolutely wild. In Mexico, "agarrar la fiesta" describes the turning point where the energy explodes, the music gets louder, everyone is dancing, and nobody wants to leave. It is that magical shift, usually past midnight, when the night goes from "this is nice" to "this is legendary." Literally it means "to grab the party.".

Examples

When they put on reggaeton the party really took off.

At 2am the party kicked in and we didn't stop.

Someone with wild, messy, or disheveled hair sticking out in every direction. In Guatemala and Honduras, pelibuche describes someone who clearly just rolled out of bed and has not looked in a mirror yet.
