Your word isn't here yet

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

/Sounds like "loh" (as in "loan") + "MEE" (as in "me") + "toh" (as in "toll")/

Meaning

A thin beef loin sandwich with lettuce, tomato, mayo, and sometimes a fried egg, a classic in Argentina and Uruguay. Think of it as the more refined sibling of the choripán: same street-food spirit, but with a slightly more polished vibe.

Examples

A lomito completo with fries, please.

The lomitos at that place are unreal, I swear.

Regional synonyms

To pack up your things and leave, especially after a breakup, a firing, or any situation that has clearly run its course. The image is of someone quietly gathering their belongings and walking out the door without explanations or goodbyes.
