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

/Sounds like the English word "doomscrolling" (same pronunciation)/

Meaning

The endless loop of scrolling through bad news, disasters, and depressing content even though it makes you feel worse with every post. Doomscrolling is the digital-age habit that keeps you glued to your phone at midnight reading about everything going wrong in the world, knowing you should stop but unable to.

Examples

I have been doomscrolling for an hour and now my head is fried.

Put down the doomscrolling before bed, it is not going to help you at all.

Regional synonyms

Someone who disrespects social hierarchy by being too familiar with people above them. In Mexico, calling someone igualado means they treat their boss like a buddy or act as if social rank doesn't apply to them. It carries a clear sense of disrespect toward whoever holds the higher position.
