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

/Sounds like "KOHN" (as in "coat") + "MAH" (as in "mark") + "dreh" (as in "dress")/

Meaning

Really good, excellent, impressive, or amazing in Mexico. It's the strong Mexican compliment you drop when something blew past all your expectations and deserves the most intense praise you can give. Despite having "madre" (mother) in it, there's nothing maternal about it, it's pure enthusiasm.

Examples

The concert was freaking amazing.

Your mom's food is always incredible, nobody beats it.

A very demanding, exhausting, or stressful job in Costa Rica. When work consumes every last drop of energy a Tico has.
