Your word isn't here yet

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

/Sounds like "pahl" (as in "park") + "MAHR" (as in "mark")/

Meaning

To die, kick the bucket, or stop working altogether. In Spain, 'palmarla' is how you refer to death when you want zero sentimentality, direct, slightly dark, and utterly Spanish in its refusal to dress things up. Also used for objects that finally give out after years of use.

Examples

The old dog finally died last night.

My laptop finally gave out, it was ten years old.

Regional synonyms

A digital alert for activity on an app or social media. Turning on someone's notifications is the most devoted thing a follower can do, and having hundreds of unread ones is a badge of honor or a source of anxiety depending on who you ask.
