Your word isn't here yet

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

/Sounds like "sah" (as in "salsa") + "KAH" (as in "car") + "doh" (as in "door")/

Meaning

Shocked, bewildered, or completely thrown off by something unexpected in Mexico and Chile. When something so surprising happens that you need a few seconds to process it, you are "sacado." It is that face of total disbelief when reality hits you out of nowhere. Often used as "sacado de onda," which adds emphasis, like saying your whole vibe got disrupted. The word literally means "taken out," as in mentally pulled out of your normal state.

Examples

What he told me left me completely shocked.

I'm blown away by the news, I still can't process it.
