Bandera de México

/Sounds like "peh" + "lan" + "go" + "cheh"/

Completely broke, without a single peso to your name. In Mexico, pelangoche is a fun, slightly humorous way to say you have zero money, usually after spending too much on a vacation, a night out, or just life in general. It's the kind of word that makes being broke sound almost charming.

Example

"No me invites al bar, ando bien pelangoche. -> Don't invite me to the bar, I'm totally broke."

"Después de las vacaciones quedé pelangoche. -> After vacation I was left completely broke."

Regional synonyms:

Dejar algo o a alguien completamente ignorado, como si no existiera. En Chile lo usas cuando alguien practica la indiferencia a un nivel que ya se vuelve una habilidad.
