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

/Sounds like "ehs" (as in "egg") + "TAHR" (as in "tar") + "EHN" (as in "egg") + "OHR" (as in "oh") + "bee" (as in "bee") + "tah" (as in "tar")/

Meaning

In Spain, to be completely zoned out or mentally checked out from reality, like an astronaut drifting through space far from Earth. The chronic daydreamer who is always the last to know what is going on, even when you are talking directly to them.

Examples

To get yourself ready and in position to act whenever needed. In Mexico, "ponerse al tiro" signals that you're officially in go-mode: ready to head out, get to work, or handle whatever comes your way.
