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") + "MWEH" + "reh" (as in "red")/

Meaning

To stop functioning, fail, or reach the end, often referring to an object, relationship, or person. This can be a figurative or literal expression.

Examples

The phone stopped working just before the exam.

The couple's relationship ended on the trip.

To be completely broke after overspending, that state where the money is gone and payday feels impossibly far away. In Mexico, "quedar tronado" captures the specific misery of having spent everything and now having to wait it out.
