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

An obsession or craze that someone just cannot stop talking about. In Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic, when someone has la fiebre de algo, they bring it up in every conversation whether anyone asked or not. Think of it as being completely hooked on something.
