/Sounds like "tee" (as in "tea") + "RAHR" (as in "rapper") + "seh" (as in "set") + "AH" (as in "art") + "LAH" (as in "lava") + "ah" (as in "art") + "MAH" (as in "mark") + "kah" (as in "car")/

He's been lounging around all month without even looking for work.

Regional synonyms

Absolutely packed, completely crammed with people to the point where you can't fit a single extra person. It's the superlative form of "petado" in Spain, describing the maximum level of overcrowding.
