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

/Sounds like "ehs" (as in "egg") + "kah" (as in "car") + "CHAH" (as in "chat") + "oh" (as in "oh")/

Meaning

In Cuba, a state of total collapse: broke, physically wrecked, emotionally drained, or all three at once. From "escachar" meaning to crush or crumble, applied to anyone running completely on empty with nothing left to give.

Examples

I'm completely broke, I don't even have bus money for tomorrow.

I came home from my shift absolutely destroyed, I'm sleeping for twelve hours.

Word family

A spectacular soccer move where you chip the ball over a defender's head and collect it on the other side. It's the ultimate humiliation for the defender, you literally put a hat on them.
