Your word isn't here yet

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

/Sounds like "bee" (as in "bee") + "RAH" (as in "rapper") + "doh" (as in "door")/

Meaning

Angry, irritable, or in a noticeably bad mood for no clear reason. In the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, and Cuba, someone who is virado is short-fused and best avoided until whatever set them off passes on its own.

Examples

He came home from work angry and didn't say a word all night.

He is really in a mood today, watch what you say to him.
