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

/Sounds like "eh" (as in "egg") + "CHAHR" (as in "chat") + "floh" (as in "float") + "HEH" (as in "help") + "rah" (as in "rapper")/

Meaning

To do absolutely nothing and be completely lazy, with zero guilt about it. In Mexico and Colombia, "echar flojera" is not always a criticism: on a slow day done with full conviction, it is practically an art form. It is the permission to rest without excuses or apologies.

Examples

Today is my day to do absolutely nothing; I am just not feeling it.

He has been lounging around all day and tomorrow he is going to regret it.

Dumb luck or a stroke of pure chance. In Peru, "chamba" means something went well not because of skill but because fortune was on your side. Note: in most other countries "chamba" means work or job, but this is the Peruvian sense.
