Your word isn't here yet

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

/Sounds like "DEH" (as in "debt") + "boh" (as in "boat") + "LAH" (as in "lava") + "dah" (as in "dart")/

Meaning

Super fast, instantly, without losing a single second in Mexico. When something gets done de volada, it happens so quickly there's no time to hesitate, think twice, or waver.

Examples

I did the homework super fast and went out to play.

Come quick, I need you.

Word family

Having a lot of nerve or shameless audacity, doing something bold without a hint of embarrassment. Used in Costa Rica, Guatemala, and Honduras, "harta cara" is a regional intensifier that hits even harder than the standard "cara dura."
