Your word isn't here yet

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

/Sounds like "DAHR" (as in "dart") + "PAH" (as in "park") + "loh" (as in "loan")/

Meaning

To feel too lazy or reluctant to do something, to find it a drag. In Spain, when something "da palo," the mere thought of doing it makes you want to procrastinate indefinitely. It is not quite dread, more like a heavy unwillingness.

Examples

I can't be bothered to go out in this cold.

Doesn't it feel like too much effort to travel that far just for that?

Regional synonyms
Bandera de México
Dar hueva

A snitch or tattletale who reports others to authority figures in Mexico. The "soplón" runs to tell on people to look good or get them in trouble.
