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.

A tiny, cramped, and poorly set up space where barely one person fits. In Colombia, a cuchitrajo is what someone calls a room but is really just a glorified closet with a mattress squeezed inside. Not ideal.
