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

/Sounds like "hah" (as in "hard") + "LAHR" (as in "lava") + "pah" (as in "park") + "REH" (as in "red") + "hoh" (as in "hope")/

Meaning

To pull equal weight, for everyone on a team to contribute their fair share. In Mexico, when someone is not jalando parejo, others end up carrying the load while that person coasts.

Examples

If we all pull our weight we will finish before Friday.

Not everyone on this team carries their share and it is frustrating.
