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

/Sounds like "pah" (as in "park") + "dree" (as in "dreary") + "SEE" (as in "see") + "moh" (as in "more")/

Meaning

Absolutely incredible, the maximum level of approval in Mexico. It is the superlative of "padre" (which already means cool), so padrísimo means something that went way beyond great and left you genuinely blown away. When a Mexican says this about something, they are not being polite; they are truly impressed.

Examples

That concert was absolutely padrísimo, the best one I have ever seen in my entire life.

The view from the top of that mountain is just padrísimo, nothing comes close to it.

Hungover, suffering through the after-effects of the previous night's drinking. In Colombia the "guayabo" collects everything you drank the night before, with full interest. Being enguayabado is a full-body reminder that last night was probably a bad idea.
