/Sounds like "ehs" (as in "egg") + "TAH" (as in "tar") + "hah" (as in "hard") + "LAH" (as in "lava") + "oh" (as in "oh")/
In Venezuela, something exaggerated, out of proportion, or way over the line. When something is "jalao" it has gone beyond reasonable limits, whether it is a price, an attitude, or a story.
“That price is jalao, I wouldn't pay that in a million years.”
“The story he told was really jalao, nobody believed him.”
