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

/Sounds like "peh" (as in "pet") + "tah" (as in "tar") + "dee" (as in "deep") + "SEE" (as in "see") + "moh" (as in "more")/

Meaning

Absolutely packed, completely crammed with people to the point where you can't fit a single extra person. It's the superlative form of "petado" in Spain, describing the maximum level of overcrowding. When a place is "petadísimo," you're shoulder to shoulder and probably sweating from the body heat alone.

Examples

The school was absolutely packed with people, you couldn't even walk.

The concert was completely jammed, the heat was unbearable.

A scatterbrained or impulsive person who acts without thinking and consistently makes a mess of things through pure recklessness. In Colombia and Venezuela, the atolondrado is always rushing but somehow always the last to arrive, with everything upside down and no idea what went wrong.
