/Sounds like "hah" (as in "hard") + "RYOH" + "soh" (as in "solo")/

Meaning

In Mexico, extremely hungry, starving, ravenous. It describes that level of hunger where you cannot focus on anything else and need to eat immediately, whatever is available. Stronger than just saying "I'm hungry," closer to "I'm absolutely famished."

Examples

Ya vámonos a comer, ando bien jarioso desde la mañana.

Let's go eat already, I've been starving since morning.

No he desayunado, estoy jarioso y no me puedo concentrar.

I haven't had breakfast, I'm starving and I can't focus on anything.

Regional synonyms

A situation of joking around, goofing off, or an atmosphere where nobody's serious and everything's a laugh. In Spain it's that moment where laughter rules and seriousness simply doesn't exist.
