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