Add a word/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.”

Apantallar
To impress or dazzle someone, whether with money, skills, looks, or knowledge. In Mexico, apantallar often has a slightly ironic edge: the person showing off is trying a little too hard to get that admiring reaction. Think flashy cars, name-dropping, or pulling out a fancy move at exactly the right moment.
