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

In Venezuela, small personal belongings and random little objects you accumulate over time without realizing it. Those things you do not know where to put but cannot throw out because they might be useful someday.
