Your word isn't here yet

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

/Sounds like "KAHL" (as in "car") + "doh" (as in "door")/

Meaning

To be in bad shape, completely wrecked, or looking destroyed after a long night in Colombia. When someone is "todo caldo" they are not doing well at all, physically or otherwise. The word literally means broth, so picture something that has been simmering too long and lost all its structure.

Examples

Dude, you look like a total mess, go get some sleep.

I was completely wrecked after last night's party, I do not remember a thing.
