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") + "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.

In Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic, neighborhood gossip and idle chatter that travels mouth to mouth, always arriving exaggerated to the last person who hears it.
