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 Cuba, a handicap or head start given to the weaker player in a game or competition. Giving someone a changüí can be a generous gesture or a quiet show of superiority, depending on who is doing it and how.
