Your word isn't here yet

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

/Sounds like "FLAH" (as in "flat") + "koh" (as in "coat")/

Meaning

An affectionate Argentine nickname for anyone, regardless of whether they're actually skinny. It's as universal in Buenos Aires as breathing, used for friends, strangers, and waiters.

Examples

Hey flaco, can you tell me the time?

Flaco, come here, I gotta tell you something important.

Word family

A Mexican expression for someone who's freaked out, disoriented, or mentally somewhere else. The literal idea is being 'pulled out of your wavelength,' as if your brain got disconnected from reality for a moment. It describes anyone reacting weirdly, losing their train of thought, or just acting off.
