Your word isn't here yet

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

/Sounds like "ehn" (as in "egg") + "chee" (as in "cheek") + "LAHR" (as in "lava")/

Meaning

To burn your mouth with chile or hot spice. Also means to irritate, annoy, or push someone to their absolute limit with repeated behavior. The word captures both the physical heat of chile and the emotional burn of being pushed too far.

Examples

That habanero sauce absolutely torched my mouth.

You have been grinding on my nerves with your constant complaints, that is enough.
