Bandera de México

/Sounds like "crew" + "doe" + "ta" (as in "taco")/

An extreme hangover, the kind that leaves you unable to move from bed or even look at light. It's the amplified version of "cruda" (the standard Mexican word for hangover), reserved for those mornings when you really, truly overdid it the night before. If cruda is a hangover, crudota is a hangover that feels like it might actually kill you.

Example

"Tengo una crudota que no puedo ni ver la luz. -> I have such a brutal hangover I can't even look at light."

"Después de la boda me dio una crudota de tres días. -> After the wedding I had a monster hangover that lasted three days."
