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

/Sounds like "koor" (as in "cool") + "TEE" (as in "tea") + "doh" (as in "door")/

Meaning

A fermented salad of cabbage, carrot, and onion that obligatorily accompanies pupusas in El Salvador. Without curtido, a pupusa is incomplete, like a taco without salsa or an asado without chimichurri.

Examples

Put plenty of curtido on the pupusa.

The curtido at that place is really spicy.

Regional synonyms

Someone who is spaced out and not paying attention to what is happening around them. In Mexico, a volado seems to be elsewhere mentally, always off in their own world, missing entire conversations without even noticing.
