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

/Sounds like "ehn" (as in "egg") + "droh" (as in "drone") + "GAH" (as in "garden") + "doh" (as in "door")/

Meaning

To be in debt, to have many debts. In Mexico and Colombia, 'endrogarse' means to get into financial commitments that are difficult to pay off.

Examples

They got endrogado by buying everything on credit.

They're endrogado up to their necks, they owe everywhere.

A sycophant who flatters those in power to get ahead, the classic yes-man who celebrates even his boss's mistakes. In Colombia and Venezuela, pelota is synonymous with "lambón" or "lame botas": someone who never has their own opinion, only whatever the boss thinks.
