Your word isn't here yet

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

/Sounds like "PAH" (as in "park") + "hah" (as in "hard") + "mehn" (as in "met") + "TAHL" (as in "tar")/

Meaning

Obsessively overthinking something unnecessarily, overanalyzing until you're stressed for no reason without reaching any conclusion. It's the Latin overthinking that keeps you awake at 3 AM thinking about what you said five years ago.

Examples

Stop the paja mental and just act already.

I get into a paja mental wondering what she said and what she meant.

Regional synonyms

In Colombia, a little kid or very young boy, said with affection. The diminutive of "pelado" (young person), softened even further into something tender and fond.
