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

/Sounds like "ehs" (as in "egg") + "TAHR" (as in "tar") + "AHL" (as in "art") + "SYEHN"/

Meaning

To be at one hundred percent, fully energized and in peak condition. In Mexico, "al cien" is the gold standard: if something or someone is al cien, nothing is missing and everything is working exactly as it should. Applies to people, objects, and situations alike.

Examples

I slept well and I'm at a hundred percent for today's presentation.

The car came out of the shop running like new, totally good to go.

Regional synonyms

A heavy blow with a stick, club, or any blunt object. In Colombia and Venezuela, a garrotazo is the kind of hit that echoes: hard, unambiguous, and it leaves a mark. Can also refer to a brutal blow in a figurative sense, like a harsh policy or a painful piece of news.
