Your word isn't here yet

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

/Sounds like "ehs" (as in "egg") + "TAHR" (as in "tar") + "ah" (as in "art") + "RREH" + "choh" (as in "chose")/

Meaning

In Venezuela, to be very angry, furious, or totally fed up. Use this word carefully though: in Colombia, arrecho means brave or bold, and in other contexts it carries sexual connotations. Same word, completely different meanings depending on who is saying it and where.

Examples

Estoy arrecho con el gobierno, ya no aguanto más.

I'm furious with the government, I can't take it anymore.

Se puso arrecho cuando le rayaron el coche, con razón.

He went ballistic when they scratched his car, and rightfully so.

A small plot of land used for farming or rural living, common across Latin America. It might grow staple crops like corn, beans, or avocados, or just serve as a countryside escape from the city. The word has a grounded, modest feel, tied to working the land and self-sufficiency.
