Your word isn't here yet

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

/Sounds like "ROHS" (as in "row") + "kah" (as in "car") + "FLOH" (as in "float") + "hah" (as in "hard")/

Meaning

An Argentine expression meaning someone has a loose screw, is a bit nuts, or does not reason clearly. It is more humorous than harsh: you are not calling someone dangerous, just saying they are not quite all there.

Examples

That guy has a screw loose, look at the things he says with a straight face.

You are out of your mind if you think that is actually going to work.

Regional synonyms

A little extra thrown in for free. From the Quechua word "yapa," meaning something added on top, ñapa is the bonus the vendor tosses in after you have already paid: an extra piece of fruit, an extra piece of candy, a little something to thank you for your business. A small gesture with a big cultural weight in Peru and other Andean countries.
