"I went all out studying for the test."

/Sounds like "rah" (as in "rah") + "HAH" (as in "ha!") + "doh" (as in "dough")/

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.

Example

"Don't chicken out, you already said you were going."

"He bailed at the last minute and left us hanging."

Tomar o sujetar algo con la mano en Latinoamérica, el verbo que se usa en lugar de "coger" para evitar malentendidos incómodos. En España "coger" es inocente, pero del otro lado del Atlántico mejor usa "agarrar".
