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

/Sounds like "PEH" (as in "pet") + "doh" (as in "door") + "DEH" (as in "debt") + "LOH" (as in "loan") + "koh" (as in "coat")/

Meaning

Something completely absurd, total madness, or a situation that makes zero logical sense. In Mexico it's the expression reserved for the most irrational thing you could ever witness.

Examples

What he did was totally insane, nobody gets it.

It's crazy to move without having a job lined up.

Regional synonyms

A saying that means troublemakers, corrupt people, and bad actors always seem to survive and never face real consequences. Used with resignation or dark humor across Central America and Mexico when someone shady keeps landing on their feet no matter what they do.
