Bandera de Venezuela

/de BRO-ma/

Joking, not for real — something said without serious intent. In Venezuela, 'de broma' is the go-to phrase when someone reacts too strongly to something you didn't mean seriously.

Example

"I told you that as a joke — don't take it like that."

"Was that a joke or are you seriously not coming to the party?"

Hombre extremadamente musculoso, con el cuerpo muy marcado y trabajado en el gym. Superlativo de 'trabado' que se usa para describir un físico impresionante.
