Your word isn't here yet

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

/Sounds like "SOH" (as in "solo") + "nah" (as in "nacho") + "DEH" (as in "debt") + "ah" (as in "art") + "MEE" (as in "me") + "gohs" (as in "go")/

Meaning

The Spanish version of the "friend zone": the place someone puts you when they only see you as a friend, not a romantic interest. In Mexico, caer en la zona de amigos means there's zero chance of anything more.

Examples

I landed in the friend zone and there's no coming back from that.

She put me in the zona de amigos but I'm still totally into her.

Regional synonyms

When someone runs their fingers gently through your hair and you melt into total relaxation. In Mexico, "hacer piojito" is the ultimate comfort move, named after the motion of checking for lice but with zero actual lice involved. Pure bliss, better than any meditation app.
