@chileno...
I like I feel out of it I feel wiped out (As an expression, mind you!) (I usually like it when I am full of pep!)

Thanks guys. I have heard después de oir lo que dijo sufrí un bajón.
I now should interpret it as a chasco.

Yup, that is about the sixth hour Latin hour... i.e., time for a siesta...
(Actually the "sexta" is midday in Latin... and it's the derivation for "siesta", but nowadays this normally would be at about 3 to 4 p.m.)

Dar el bajón :
When the effects of a drug are starting to dissapear , mostly said when talking about cocaine or meth. Also : " Me esta dando el bajón" , " me viene el bajón " It happens to me everyday about 13:00 , because I've working since 6:00 A.M. .So I say this , because my energy is starting to drain out. Then , my workmate and I usually have some coffee. This is something we say on a daily basis. |

I think "dar el bajón" is more an emotional felling. For example: Yo had a girlfriend some time ago and she went away. One day you are driving your car and listen on the radio a song that makes you remember your girlfriend. It seems now you feel sad and feel less positive than 5 minutes ago.......so you say......."me ha dado el bajón".
Another example: you are expecting for a phone call. You don´t know if you passed the exam. Your friend told you he was going to the university and told you when he arrived there he´d call you to say if you´d passed or not. You feel so nervous because you studied a lot and you´re pretty sure you´ve pass the exam. You feel very positive. At last he calls and says: I´m sorry you didn´t pass the exam. You feel ........disenchantment, disillusionment, dissappointment, let down "Te da el bajón" o "estás de bajón" |
