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

/Sounds like "REH" (as in "red") + "BWEH" + "nah" (as in "nacho") + "OHN" (as in "oh") + "dah" (as in "dart")/

Meaning

In Argentina and Uruguay, someone who is extremely pleasant, positive, and brings great energy to any situation. "Re" is the Rioplatense intensifier (like "super" or "really"), and "buena onda" means good vibes. Together they are the highest Argentine compliment for someone whose presence elevates the whole room.

Examples

Your sister is super cool; she made everyone feel totally comfortable.

That positive energy is why everyone loves having her around.
