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

/Sounds like "ehn" (as in "egg") + "chahr" (as in "chat") + "KAHR" (as in "car") + "seh" (as in "set")/

Meaning

In Colombia, to sink deep into a problem, a debt, or a complicated situation that is very hard to get out of. Like stepping into a puddle and getting stuck: whoever gets in alone usually has to figure out how to get out alone.

Examples

He got buried in that debt and does not even know where to start.

Do not get yourself tangled up in that sketchy deal, there is no clean way out.

Word family

The Mexican superlative of chingón: something or someone extraordinarily good, impressive, or at the absolute highest level. The maximum compliment when something goes beyond excellent.
