/Sounds like "rah" (as in "rapper") + "HAHR" (as in "hard") + "seh" (as in "set")/

Meaning

To back out, chicken out, or bail on something you'd already publicly committed to. In Mexico, rajarse is the worst way to look bad because everyone knows you got scared and didn't follow through.

Examples

Don't rajarte, you already said you'd jump.

He rajó at the last minute and left us hanging.

An expression of agreement or confirmation used across Central America, especially Guatemala. It is the local equivalent of Mexico's "órale": you say "dale pues" to confirm plans, close a casual deal, or simply agree to something with warmth.
