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

/Sounds like "EER" (as in "eagle") + "FEE" (as in "feet") + "noh" (as in "note")/

Meaning

In Spain, to be fairly drunk or buzzed but still somewhat in control. Said with irony when someone has had a few drinks and it is starting to show.

Examples

By the middle of the wedding you were already pretty tipsy, weren't you.

Three beers and I'm already buzzed, what a lightweight.

Regional synonyms

To roast someone to their face, to publicly humiliate them with a sharp comment. In Argentina and Uruguay, you descansás someone when you embarrass them in front of others, usually with a perfectly timed remark that stings even more because of the audience.
