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

/Sounds like "BROHN" (as in "bro") + "kahs" (as in "car")/

Meaning

Problems, trouble, or messy situations that make life harder. In Mexico, having broncas means you have unresolved conflicts on your hands, whether with money, relationships, work, or anything else. Saying you do not want broncas signals you are just trying to get through the day without drama.

Examples

Ese tipo siempre anda en broncas, nunca hay un día tranquilo.

That guy always has some kind of drama going on, never a quiet day.

No quiero broncas hoy, solo que todo salga como tiene que salir.

I do not want any trouble today, I just want everything to go smoothly.
