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") + "KOH" (as in "coat") + "moh" (as in "more") + "AH" (as in "art") + "gwah" (as in "Guam") + "PAH" (as in "park") + "rah" (as in "rapper") + "choh" (as in "chose") + "koh" (as in "coat") + "LAH" (as in "lava") + "teh" (as in "ten")/

Meaning

To be absolutely furious and about to explode, like water reaching its boiling point right before the chocolate goes in. When someone is in this state, your best bet is to keep your distance and not say a word.

Examples

My boss is about to blow, don't even talk to her.

When she found out, she was absolutely livid.

Money, cash, bread, the informal Mexican term for cash that echoes the old colonial currency. Asking '¿tienes reales?' is like asking 'you got any bread?', casual, street-level, and understood by everyone.
