Your word isn't here yet

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

/Sounds like "EER" (as in "eagle") + "seh" (as in "set") + "AHL" (as in "art") + "MAH" (as in "mark") + "soh" (as in "solo")/

Meaning

To drop out or walk away from a situation you no longer want to be part of. From the card game metaphor: when you fold, you are out and nobody can make you play a hand you do not want. Used in Argentina to mean quitting a conversation, group, or commitment.

Examples

I checked out of that meeting halfway through, it was a complete waste of time.

If you do not like how things are going, just walk away.

Regional synonyms

To be completely fed up, exhausted, and with zero patience left for an unbearable situation in Mexico. It's the maximum expression of being done, the last level before you explode and send everything to hell.
