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

You got stood up again? Stop inviting her.
