Your word isn't here yet

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

/Sounds like "groh" (as in "grow") + "seh" (as in "set") + "REE" (as in "reed") + "ahs" (as in "art")/

Meaning

Chicano Spanglish for groceries or supermarket food shopping, straight from English. Nothing to do with "groserías" (bad words): these are the bags of food you bring back from the market.

Examples

Help me bring the groceries inside, they're heavy.

I forgot half the groceries in the car.

Regional synonyms

In Argentina and Uruguay, a problem, mess, or tense situation that can spiral out of control quickly. When a bardo breaks out, you need to deal with it before everything blows up. The word carries a sense of chaotic energy that feels like it could go anywhere.
