Your word isn't here yet

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

/Sounds like "keh" (as in "kept") + "DEH" (as in "debt")/

Meaning

A one-word expression meaning you were left completely stunned, speechless, or frozen by something shocking. It works as a punchline on its own: you finish telling a wild story, drop "quedé," and nothing more needs to be said. Very common in Mexican slang.

Examples

I saw my boyfriend with another girl downtown and I was just frozen, I didn't know what to do.

They told me I was getting fired and I literally stood there in shock.

A substitute player who does not start the game but is ready to enter at any moment. Across Spain and Latin America, being a suplente means waiting for your chance on the bench, and sometimes that wait ends with the most important play of the whole match.
