/Sounds like "DEH" (as in "debt") + "PEH" (as in "pet") + "lohs" (as in "loan")/

Meaning

Excellent, perfect, top-notch with zero flaws. In Mexico, saying something came out 'de pelos' is the ultimate compliment, it means there's absolutely nothing to improve because everything was flawless.

Examples

The exam went de pelos, I'm sure I'll get a perfect score.

The food was de pelos, give the chef a round of applause.

Regional synonyms

To flirt without commitment, to be in that limbo with someone where you're not together but not just friends either. The classic 'we have a thing but we're nothing official.'.
