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

/Sounds like "ah" (as in "art") + "lee" (as in "lead") + "byah" + "NAHR" (as in "nacho") + "seh" (as in "set")/

Meaning

To calm down, relax, or chill out after a stressful moment. In Mexico it also means to help someone out without being asked, like doing a solid for a friend that takes a weight off their shoulders. The dual meaning makes it versatile, from "chill out, it's not a big deal" to "my buddy came through for me."

Examples

Chill out already, it's not that serious.

My buddy came through and lent me money for the bill.

Regional synonyms

A scatterbrained or impulsive person who acts without thinking and consistently makes a mess of things through pure recklessness. In Colombia and Venezuela, the atolondrado is always rushing but somehow always the last to arrive, with everything upside down and no idea what went wrong.
