/Sounds like "ahr" (as in "art") + "MAHR" (as in "mark") + "LAH" (as in "lava") + "GOHR" (as in "go") + "dah" (as in "dart")/

Meaning

To cause a huge scene, blowup, or all-out chaos. Used in Spain and Mexico, armar la gorda means creating drama of major proportions, the kind that has everyone uncomfortable and keeps the WhatsApp group buzzing for days.

Examples

When she found out she caused a massive scene at the office.

If you say that, you are going to start an all-out blowup.

Drunk or noticeably tipsy: past the point of sobriety but still functioning. Used in Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, and Nicaragua for someone who has had several drinks and it shows in how they talk and move.
