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") + "LAHS" (as in "lava") + "WEH" (as in "west") + "bahs" (as in "bar")/

Meaning

To feel terrible, be in the worst possible mood, or be in genuinely bad shape physically or emotionally. In Chile this is one of the most direct expressions for hitting rock bottom mood-wise. When someone is "como las huevas," they are not available for anything.

Examples

Hoy estoy como las huevas, no dormí nada en toda la noche. (I feel absolutely terrible today, I didn't sleep at all last night.)

Después de esa noticia quedé como las huevas el resto del día. (After that news I was in the worst mood for the rest of the day.)

Estar down

Something excellent, perfect, and top-quality that far exceeds expectations. When something turns out de lujo, nothing's missing, everything clicks perfectly, and there's absolutely nothing to improve.
