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

/Sounds like "ah" (as in "art") + "SEHR" (as in "set") + "seh" (as in "set") + "LAH" (as in "lava") + "see" (as in "see") + "MAH" (as in "mark") + "rrah"/

Meaning

To skip school without permission in Chile, to escape classes and do something more fun with friends. It's the Chilean teenage art of making up excuses to skip class and spend the morning doing anything else.

Examples

He skipped school and got caught at the mall.

If they catch you skipping they're gonna suspend you.

Word family

The nosebleed section: the highest and cheapest seats in a cinema, theater, or stadium. Called "gallinero" (chicken coop) because you are packed up so high it feels like roosting. You can barely make out what is happening on stage, but at least you made it in.
