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

/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.

A scam, hustle, or rip-off where someone tries to cheat you out of money or take advantage dishonestly. When someone says 'pura tranza' they're warning you it's all fraud.
