Your word isn't here yet

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

/Sounds like "ah" (as in "art") + "LEH" (as in "let") + "roh" (as in "row")/

Meaning

A close friend who's always there for you and has your back when you need it. In Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador, 'alero' means brother for life.

Examples

That's my alero, he always helps me out without me even asking.

My alero got me out of a really bad spot.

To flirt without commitment, to be in that limbo with someone where you're not together but not just friends either. The classic 'we have a thing but we're nothing official.'.
