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

/Sounds like "SEHR" (as in "set") + "LAH" (as in "lava") + "LEH" (as in "let") + "cheh" (as in "check")/

Meaning

To be incredible, extraordinary, someone or something that stands out above everything else. Can go either way depending on tone, but it always signals something exceptional in Spain.

Examples

This restaurant is la leche, best food in the city.

You're la leche, you always know how to cheer me up.

Regional synonyms

Having no appetite, not feeling hungry at all. In Mexico, "filo" means hunger, so "sin filo" is simply the absence of it. It is a casual expression for those days when your stomach is just not asking for anything, even when it is well past mealtime.
