Your word isn't here yet

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

/Sounds like "gah" (as in "garden") + "soh" (as in "solo") + "LEE" (as in "lead") + "nah" (as in "nacho")/

Meaning

Energy, drive, enthusiasm, or inner fuel to do something and keep going. When you run out of gasolina, you're drained and have nothing left to give, your tank is empty.

Examples

I'm running on empty, I can't take any more gym.

Put some gas into the project, we're almost done.

Regional synonyms

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.
