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

/Sounds like "ehs" (as in "egg") + "TAHR" (as in "tar") + "kah" (as in "car") + "LYEHN" + "teh" (as in "ten")/

Meaning

To be furious, livid, completely over the edge with anger. In Argentina and Uruguay it means pure rage. Important note: in other Spanish-speaking countries the same phrase can mean sexually aroused, so context is everything when using this one outside the Southern Cone.

Examples

I'm absolutely furious at the ref, they clearly stole the match from us.

She was livid when they canceled her flight without any explanation.

A young girl or woman in Venezuela. It's a sweet, affectionate diminutive of chama used to refer to a young woman with tenderness and that warm Venezuelan way of speaking.
