/Sounds like "ehn" (as in "egg") + "fleh" (as in "flex") + "KAHR" (as in "car")/

Meaning

To blow all your money in one impulsive night out or spending spree, leaving yourself completely broke until the next paycheck. In Colombia, enflecar captures that specific feeling of going all in on a good time and facing the empty wallet consequences the next morning.

Examples

Me enflequé en esa fiesta y no tengo para el bus. (I blew all my money at that party and don't even have bus fare home.)

Enfleqaste el quincenario en dos días. (You burned through your whole paycheck in two days.)

Regional synonyms

Sexually turned on or horny. In Venezuela and Colombia, this is the most direct and common meaning of "arrecho." It's casual between friends or partners but watch out: the word shifts meaning completely in other countries. In Central America it can mean brave or capable, and even in Venezuela it can also mean very angry depending on context.
