Your word isn't here yet

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

/Sounds like "POH" (as in "port") + "kah" (as in "car") + "MAH" (as in "mark") + "dreh" (as in "dress")/

Meaning

Something excellent, amazing, or impressive in Mexico. When something is "poca madre" it means it's top-tier and completely exceeded expectations.

Examples

The trip was incredible, I didn't want it to end.

Your shirt is awesome, where did you get it?

Regional synonyms

A tender corn cob cooked in water or grilled over coals, from the Quechua word "chuqllu." Choclo is a staple of Andean cooking in Peru, Bolivia, and Ecuador, served alone, in soups, or alongside almost anything. Peruvian choclo in particular is known for its large, starchy kernels, nothing like the sweet corn you find elsewhere.
