Your word isn't here yet

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

/Sounds like "DAHR" (as in "dart") + "LAH" (as in "lava") + "BRAH" (as in "bra") + "sah" (as in "salsa")/

Meaning

In Spain, to nag, pester, or be insufferably insistent about something until everyone around you is completely drained. When someone gives you la brasa, there is no escape: they will keep going until they get what they want or everyone around them simply gives in to make it stop.

Examples

Stop nagging me about the same thing over and over again.

He has been pestering everyone for an hour just trying to get us to go out.
