Your word isn't here yet

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

/Sounds like "eh" (as in "egg") + "CHAHR" (as in "chat") + "LAH" (as in "lava") + "WEH" (as in "west") + "bah" (as in "bar")/

Meaning

To laze around all day, to do absolutely nothing productive and just chill without a single gram of guilt. In Mexico, "echar la hueva" is a Sunday art form, an almost Olympic discipline practiced with devotion on the couch, phone in hand, doing gloriously nothing.

Examples

I spent the whole Sunday lazing around on the couch.

Stop being lazy and help clean the house.

Bandera de Argentina

An English loanword fully absorbed into everyday Spanish across Mexico, Argentina, Colombia, Chile, and most of Latin America. "Bro" means close friend, and it carries the same laid-back warmth it does in English, fitting perfectly in texts, chats, and casual conversation.
