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

/Sounds like "trah" (as in "tract") + "GAHR" (as in "garden")/

Meaning

To eat with a lot of appetite and not much table manners, basically to chow down or stuff your face. While "tragar" literally means "to swallow," in everyday slang across Latin America and Spain it means eating fast and enthusiastically because hunger is in charge.

Examples

Let's go grab something to eat, I haven't eaten since this morning.

We ate like there was no tomorrow.
