Your word isn't here yet

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

/Sounds like "TYEHN" + "dah" (as in "dart") + "DEH" (as in "debt") + "LAH" (as in "lava") + "ehs" (as in "egg") + "KEE" (as in "keep") + "nah" (as in "nacho")/

Meaning

The small neighborhood corner store where you can find anything at any hour. It's the lifesaver when the supermarket's closed, you forgot something, and need to grab it within a block's walk.

Examples

I'm going to the corner store for some sodas.

The lady at the corner store lets me buy on credit.

Regional synonyms

To flirt without commitment, to be in that limbo with someone where you're not together but not just friends either. The classic 'we have a thing but we're nothing official.'.
