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

/Sounds like "KLEE" (as in "cling") + "kah" (as in "car")/

Meaning

In Chicano slang, the tight-knit group of neighborhood friends you always roll with, bound by loyalty and their own codes. More than a gang, it's your inner circle from the hood.

Examples

He's always with his crew, you never see him without them.

The whole clique showed up to the Saturday cookout.

Regional synonyms

When someone runs their fingers gently through your hair and you melt into total relaxation. In Mexico, "hacer piojito" is the ultimate comfort move, named after the motion of checking for lice but with zero actual lice involved. Pure bliss, better than any meditation app.
