Your word isn't here yet

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

/Sounds like "ahn" (as in "art") + "DAHR" (as in "dart") + "kohr" (as in "coat") + "TAH" (as in "tar") + "doh" (as in "door")/

Meaning

To be flat broke in Mexico, when your wallet is completely empty and you don't even have enough for a soda. Being cortado means you can't participate in any plans because the money simply doesn't exist.

Examples

I'm super cortado, don't get paid until Friday.

He's cortado on cash, can't go out.

In Mexico, someone who gives off bad vibes right away: not necessarily mean, just someone who rubs people the wrong way for no clear reason. Tener la sangre pesada means people instinctively don't warm up to you.
