Your word isn't here yet

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

/Sounds like "ah" (as in "art") + "SEHR" (as in "set") + the English word "ghosting" (same pronunciation)/

Meaning

To ghost someone: cutting off all contact without warning or explanation, leaving messages unread and simply vanishing from their life. The English word was adopted directly into Spanish and is now universally understood as the coward's exit from any kind of relationship or connection.

Examples

He ghosted her after a whole week of texting all day long.

Ghosting someone is disrespectful no matter what your reason is.

Word family

Non-stop bickering or arguing that never leads anywhere. Used in Colombia, Mexico, and Venezuela to describe both the act of constant quarreling and the person who keeps it going. Think of it as endless back-and-forth with zero resolution.
