/Sounds like 'es-TAR en MI-sa'/

In Spain and Latin America, to be completely spaced out — as distracted and unreachable as if you were in church with your mind somewhere else entirely. Deep in your own world.

Example

"He was completely checked out — I asked him twice and got no reaction."

"She's always in her own world during morning meetings."
