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

To piss someone off intensely, to push them to the absolute limit of their patience. In Mexico, 'encabronar' means provoking a rage that makes someone blow up.
