/Sounds like "bah" (as in "bar") + "RAH" (as in "rapper") + "doh" (as in "door")/
Broke, stuck, or stranded with nowhere to go. Across Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, Costa Rica, and Panama, varado captures that helpless feeling of having no money, no job, or no visible way out of a situation. Equal parts broke and trapped.
“I was completely broke after the vacation, not a cent left.”
“He's stuck in a job he hates but can't afford to quit.”
