Your word isn't here yet

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

/Sounds like "SEHR" (as in "set") + "OON" (as in "Uber") + "KRAHCK" (as in "crack")/

Meaning

To be exceptional at something, an absolute star. In Spain and Latin America, ser un crack means you're top-tier, at work, at sports, at life, and the person saying it genuinely means it as high praise.

Examples

Eres un crack, en dos horas terminaste lo que yo en dos días.

You're a total star, in two hours you finished what took me two days.

My teacher is a crack, she explains everything crystal clear.

Word family

To park your car while you are not using it. In big Latin American cities, finding a parking spot downtown is practically a competitive sport: you circle the block endlessly, race the time limit, and pray you do not come back to a ticket on the windshield.
