Your word isn't here yet

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

/Sounds like "ahr" (as in "art") + "MAHR" (as in "mark") + "EHL" (as in "egg") + "KAHL" (as in "car") + "doh" (as in "door") + "GOHR" (as in "go") + "doh" (as in "door")/

Meaning

To cause a massive scandal that pulls everyone in. In Mexico, armar el caldo gordo comes from cooking: a rich broth that boils over and splashes everyone nearby. When gossip or conflict reaches this level, nobody escapes it.

Examples

With that gossip you dropped you started a massive drama.

If the boss finds out, it's going to be a full-blown scandal at the office.

The short form of 'refrigerador' (refrigerator) in Mexico, because nobody has time to say the full word. It's the everyday abbreviation every Mexican uses at home.
