Your word isn't here yet

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

/Sounds like "PEH" (as in "pet") + "dah" (as in "dart")/

Meaning

A state of heavy drunkenness or a wild party where people drink way too much alcohol and lose all composure. In Mexico, a "peda" is that legendary night you can't remember the next morning, the kind where you wake up wondering how you got home and checking your phone for damage control.

Examples

I got so wasted at the wedding I don't remember a thing.

Friday's bender was insane, we got home at 6am.

To absolutely crush it, to perform so well that everyone else is left speechless. Used across Mexico, Argentina, Spain, and Colombia, matar describes a performance, presentation, or showing that sets a new bar and makes the competition irrelevant.
