Bandera de México

/Sounds like "ah" (as in "father") + "SEHR" + "KAHL" + "doh" (as in "dough")/

To crash, flip, or wreck something in a collision or fall, leaving it destroyed. In Mexico it's used when a vehicle or object gets totaled in an accident.

Example

"He wrecked the motorcycle on the curve and it was completely destroyed."

"I almost totaled the car trying to dodge a pothole."

Regional synonyms:

En Colombia "ahora" puede significar "más tarde" o "en un rato", no necesariamente en este instante. Cuidado con la confusión: si un colombiano dice "ahora voy", puede que tarde un buen rato en llegar.
