Your word isn't here yet

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

/Sounds like "ehn" (as in "egg") + "kah" (as in "car") + "broh" (as in "bro") + "NAHR" (as in "nacho")/

Meaning

To piss someone off intensely, to push them to the absolute limit of their patience. In Mexico, 'encabronar' means provoking a rage that makes someone blow up.

Examples

It pissed me off that they showed up late again without telling anyone.

Don't encabronar me because I won't be responsible for what I do.

Regional synonyms

A corrupt official who demands bribes to do their job. In Venezuela, a matraquero will not process your paperwork, let you through a checkpoint, or do anything at all unless money changes hands. The name comes from "matraca," a noisy rattle: they keep making noise until you pay.
