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

/Sounds like "MEE" (as in "me") + "kroh" (as in "crow")/

Meaning

A bus or minibus for public transit that runs through city streets. It's the daily transport for millions of people in Chile, Mexico, and Argentina, those packed vehicles where you ride squeezed but you arrive.

Examples

I'll take the micro that passes by the corner.

The micro was full and I couldn't get on, had to wait for the next one.

Word family

To roast someone in Colombia: mocking them to their face with sharp, direct observations about their flaws or mistakes. Can be affectionate banter between friends or genuinely offensive depending on the context and tone.
