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

/Sounds like "ahn" (as in "art") + "DAHR" (as in "dart") + "BROO" (as in "brew") + "hah" (as in "hard")/

Meaning

To be completely broke in Mexico, with no money until the next payday. "Andar bruja" literally means "going witch," but it is all about an empty wallet.

Examples

I can't go out today, I'm broke until I get paid.

We're all broke at the end of the month, let's just do something at home.

Regional synonyms

Awesome, badass, the absolute best. One of the highest compliments in Mexican Spanish: calling someone "chingon" is giving them full recognition. It can describe a person, a skill, a party, a meal. Derives from a word that is technically vulgar but used everywhere with pride in Mexico.
