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

/Sounds like "ah" (as in "art") + "SEHR" (as in "set") + "lah" (as in "lava") + "DEH" (as in "debt") + "PEH" (as in "pet") + "doh" (as in "door")/

Meaning

To cause problems, make a scene, or create unnecessary drama over something that does not deserve it. In Mexico, this is the phrase for that person who always looks for a fight or complains way too much. If someone "la hace de pedo," they are turning a small thing into a big deal.

Examples

He always makes a scene about everything, he cannot handle anything.

Do not start drama at the party, we came to have a good time.

Word family

US dollars, a humorous Mexican expression for green bills, used especially along the border and among Mexican-Americans. The name literally means 'frog skins,' a playful nod to the color of American cash.
