Your word isn't here yet

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

/Sounds like "ehn" (as in "egg") + "hah" (as in "hard") + "rah" (as in "rapper") + "NAHR" (as in "nacho") + "seh" (as in "set")/

Meaning

To get buried in debt, especially from buying on credit. A very Mexican word for that sinking feeling when every paycheck is already spent before it arrives: cards maxed out, interest running on its own, and owing more than you earn.

Examples

He got buried in credit card debt and now can't even make the minimum payment.

Don't go into debt over a car you can't even afford the gas for.
