Your word isn't here yet

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

/Sounds like the English word "kit" + "eh" (as in "egg") + "AHR" (as in "art")/

Meaning

In gaming, to kite an enemy: keeping your distance while still dealing damage, moving backward so they can't reach you. A classic space-control technique in MOBAs and shooters across Spanish-speaking communities.

Examples

Kite the tank, don't let him get close.

He kited the whole fight without taking a single hit.

Regional synonyms

Completely flat broke, not a cent left. Used in Puerto Rico, Cuba, and the Dominican Republic, "estar en la fuácata" means the money is gone, the fridge is empty, and the wallet even emptier. It has a slightly dramatic, almost resigned flavor that fits the desperation perfectly.
