Your word isn't here yet

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

/Sounds like "SEEN" (as in "see") + "FEE" (as in "feet") + "loh" (as in "loan")/

Meaning

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.

Examples

No como, estoy sin filo hoy.

I'm not eating, just not hungry today.

Amanecí sin filo, ni el desayuno se me antoja.

Woke up with zero appetite, not even breakfast sounds good.

Regional synonyms

Fed up, completely over it, past the limit of patience. In Argentina and Uruguay, saying you're podrido (literally "rotten") means you have had it and you're done tolerating the situation. Nothing left to give.
