Your word isn't here yet

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

/Sounds like "dehs" (as in "debt") + "beh" (as in "bed") + "LAHR" (as in "lava") + "seh" (as in "set")/

Meaning

To stay up all night, either voluntarily or because you can't fall asleep. It's the battle between your body begging for rest and your brain deciding it's the perfect time to overthink everything.

Examples

I pulled an all-nighter studying for the exam.

I couldn't sleep, I was up all night tossing and turning.

Regional synonyms

In Argentina and Uruguay, someone who only acts tough or starts trouble when surrounded by their crew. Take away the group and the bravery vanishes completely. The pack warrior who would never say or do anything alone.
