Your word isn't here yet

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

/Sounds like "ah" (as in "art") + "RRAHS" + "trah" (as in "tract") + "teh" (as in "ten")/

Meaning

An expression telling someone to give absolutely everything they have to get what they want, no excuses and no holding back. Literally means "drag yourself" which captures the idea: push yourself to the limit, crawl if you have to, but get it done. Used in Mexico and Colombia to motivate someone to go all in.

Examples

Si quieres ese trabajo, arrástrate y demuéstralo.

If you want that job, give everything you have and prove it.

Me arrastré todo el semestre y al final jalé.

I pushed myself to the limit all semester and finally passed.

Doing something really well, on a roll, or creating something brilliant while people watch in anticipation. The opposite of being "cooked." Borrowed from English gaming and streaming slang.
