Your word isn't here yet

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

/Sounds like the English word "zap" + "eh" (as in "egg") + "AHR" (as in "art")/

Meaning

To compulsively flip through TV channels without settling on anything. It's the mindless ritual of clicking through hundreds of channels and still finding nothing to watch.

Examples

Stop channel surfing and just pick something.

I spent an hour flipping channels and ended up on Netflix anyway.
