Your word isn't here yet

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

/Sounds like the English word "freelanc" + "eh" (as in "egg") + "AHR" (as in "art")/

Meaning

To work independently without being tied to any company, being your own boss from your laptop. The freelancer life sounds better than it is: total freedom but also total uncertainty.

Examples

I've been freelancing for two years and I'm never going back to an office.

Freelancing is great until tax season hits.

Regional synonyms

Hard work, a tough job, or any demanding labor activity. In Colombia it's the casual way to refer to work, especially when it's physically or mentally exhausting. While it literally means "camel," Colombians use it the way Americans might say "the grind" or "the hustle.".
