Your word isn't here yet

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

/Sounds like "boh" (as in "boat") + "ROHN" (as in "row") + "doh" (as in "door")/

Meaning

A long, aimless stroll with no fixed destination, taken purely for the pleasure of wandering. In Mexico and Guatemala, going on a borondo means letting the day take you wherever it wants: no agenda, no clock, just movement and whatever you find along the way.

Examples

We wandered around downtown and the whole afternoon just disappeared on us.

Should we just go for an aimless walk and see what we find?

Regional synonyms
Bandera de Argentina
Yiro
Bandera de Colombia
Voltio

Sad, dejected, or feeling emotionally crushed. A Mexican word for that feeling of shrinking inside when something hits you hard, like a breakup or rejection. It goes beyond simple sadness, it is the specific feeling of having your spirit deflated, like a balloon that lost all its air.
