/Sounds like "lee" (as in "lead") + "BEENG" (as in "bee") + "REHNT" (as in "red") + "FREH" (as in "fresh") + "eh" (as in "egg")/

Meaning

When something or someone takes up space in your head constantly without being invited. That song, that person, that moment that just will not leave no matter how much you want to move on. The phrase jumped from English internet slang into everyday Spanish-language use across Latin America and Spain.

Examples

Esa canción está living rent free en mi cabeza desde ayer. (That song has been living rent free in my head since yesterday.)

El chavo ese sigue living rent free después de meses, no entiendo. (That guy is still living rent free in her head months later, I don't get it.)

Regional synonyms

A spontaneous exclamation of disgust, revulsion, or intense displeasure at something gross. It escapes you automatically when you see, smell, or taste something that instantly turns your stomach.
