Your word isn't here yet

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

/Sounds like "bah" (as in "bar") + "RAHN" (as in "rapper") + "dah" (as in "dart")/

Meaning

A foul odor or stench clinging to a person or place. In Argentina, "baranda" is blunt and unambiguous: there is no polite way to use this word. When you tell someone they have baranda, you mean they genuinely smell bad and should do something about it.

Examples

This bathroom has a terrible stench.

Don't get close, that guy really smells.

Puerto Rico's beloved Christmas drink, made with coconut milk, rum, cinnamon, and eggs. Think eggnog but richer, sweeter, and tropical. No Puerto Rican holiday gathering is complete without a batch of homemade coquito, and every family swears their recipe is the best.
