Your word isn't here yet

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

/Sounds like "PLAHS" (as in "plan") + "tah" (as in "tar")/

Meaning

In Spain, an extremely annoying, boring, and tedious person who is nearly impossible to shake off. The plasta shows up uninvited, talks without stopping, and always overstays their welcome by a wide margin.

Examples

No traigas a tu amigo, es un plasta insoportable.

Don't bring your friend, he is absolutely insufferable.

Lleva dos horas dando la lata, menudo plasta está hecho.

He's been going on for two hours, what a bore this guy is.

Regional synonyms

In Mexico, someone who chickened out at the last minute, canceled plans, or didn't keep their word. Being rajado is the opposite of being brave, and nobody wants to be called that because it implies total cowardice.
