Your word isn't here yet

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

/Sounds like "gah" (as in "garden") + "yee" (as in "year") + "NEH" (as in "net") + "roh" (as in "row")/

Meaning

The nosebleed section: the highest and cheapest seats in a cinema, theater, or stadium. Called "gallinero" (chicken coop) because you are packed up so high it feels like roosting. You can barely make out what is happening on stage, but at least you made it in.

Examples

Only nosebleed seats were left for the game but at least we got to see the concert.

Should we sit up in the cheap seats? It's way less expensive and the view is honestly not that bad.

Regional synonyms

Someone who vanishes from your life without warning or explanation, leaves messages on read, and never follows through on plans. The Spanish-language version of "ghosting," used widely in Spain.
