Your word isn't here yet

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

/Sounds like "plahn" (as in "plan") + "CHAHR" (as in "chat")/

Meaning

To be stood up, left waiting for someone who never shows without any warning. In Venezuela, being 'planchado' is one of the worst experiences: you're there, waiting, and the other person just never appears.

Examples

She left me waiting for two hours at the café.

You got stood up again? Stop inviting her.

Said just for the sake of saying it, like a filler word or random response. It doesn't mean anything literally, it's just for being funny, breaking the seriousness, or replying with absurd humor.
