Your word isn't here yet

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

/Sounds like "pyahn" + "TAH" (as in "tar") + "doh" (as in "door")/

Meaning

Nuts, unhinged, or acting completely out of control in Argentina. From Rioplatense lunfardo with Italian roots ("piantar" meaning to leave or escape), a "piantado" is someone whose behavior is so bizarre or unpredictable that their sanity seems to have simply walked out the door.

Examples

That guy is absolutely nuts, don't listen to a word he says.

Are you out of your mind? Who sends something like that through a work email?

Plural of "ese," the Chicano way of referring to your people or the guys from the neighborhood. Los eses carries collective identity, brotherhood, and belonging. It is basically the Spanish-slang equivalent of "the homies" but rooted in caló, the Chicano street dialect.
