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

/Sounds like "fahr" (as in "far") + "DAHR" (as in "dart")/

Meaning

In Spain, to show off or brag, flaunting your possessions, achievements, or connections to impress people. Originally from caló slang meaning to dress well, fardar now covers any kind of showing off, from a new car to dropping names.

Examples

He loves showing off his new car around the office.

She brags constantly but is actually living paycheck to paycheck.

Word family

An exclamation of frustration, surprise, or regret, a soft euphemism for expressing anger without offending anyone. In Argentina, Chile, and Peru you use it when the situation calls for a strong reaction.
