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

/Sounds like "SEHR" (as in "set") + "OON" (as in "Uber") + "pehr" (as in "pet") + "CHEH" (as in "check") + "roh" (as in "row")/

Meaning

In Spain, a very tall and extremely thin person: all height with barely any volume, like a clothes rack that forgot to fill out. A total beanpole. The comparison is vivid and immediately understood.

Examples

Her boyfriend is a two-meter beanpole, the tallest person in the whole office.

With that coat-rack height she could easily work as a model.
