Your word isn't here yet

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

/Sounds like "hoo" (as in "who") + "KYAH" + "oh" (as in "oh")/

Meaning

Completely wasted, blackout drunk, the kind of drunk where you cannot find the door or remember how you got there. In Puerto Rico, juquiao describes a seriously advanced state where the body has basically stopped cooperating. The word likely comes from "hooked," as in fully hooked on the drink.

Examples

He showed up to the party totally hammered and passed out on the couch by eleven.

Stop, I'm already wrecked and I have to be at work early tomorrow.

To move on from something in the past and keep going without holding a grudge. The emotional equivalent of closing a chapter: you acknowledge what happened and then deliberately leave it behind. Common across Argentina, Uruguay, and Chile.
