Your word isn't here yet

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

/Sounds like the English word "crush" + "eh" (as in "egg") + "AHR" (as in "art")/

Meaning

To have an intense crush, to be totally smitten and thinking about someone all day long. It's the social media anglicism that young Latinos adopted as a verb for that romantic obsession.

Examples

I've been crusheando on someone from work.

She's been crusheando on him for months but doesn't dare talk to him.

Word family

In Spain, to act the fool, clown around, or behave in a silly and inappropriate way. Hacer el indio is playful buffoonery in casual use, though the expression carries dated connotations that many now prefer to avoid.
