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

/Sounds like "ehn" (as in "egg") + "koo" (as in "cool") + "LAH" (as in "lava") + "doh" (as in "door")/

Meaning

Completely obsessed with someone, head over heels to the point of not being able to think about anything else. In Colombia and Argentina this goes beyond a simple crush: you are fully consumed by that person and can't get out.

Examples

He is totally obsessed with that girl, he has talked about nothing else for weeks.

Don't get so hooked already, you just met her and you're already like this.

Regional synonyms

Flat broke, completely out of cash until payday. Used in Peru, Chile, and Bolivia, "misio" is the casual, unapologetic way to say you have hit the financial wall. Not a crisis, just the universal end-of-month condition that everyone gets.
