معنی
To fail to appear for a planned meeting or date.
زمینه فرهنگی
In Spain, social life is very public. Being left 'plantado' at a terrace bar is not just a personal disappointment but a public one, as others might notice you waiting alone. Punctuality can be flexible in Mexico ('ahorita' can mean anything). However, 'dejar plantado' is still considered very rude and a breach of 'confianza' (trust). Argentines are very social and 'el plantón' is a common topic in tango lyrics and modern rock, often associated with heartbreak and the cold city streets. In Colombia, being 'plantado' is often met with a polite but firm 'qué pena con usted,' though the idiom remains the standard way to describe the act.
Gender Agreement
Always check the gender of the person who was stood up. If it's you and you are a woman, say 'Me dejó plantada'.
Don't use with 'ser'
Never say 'Soy plantado'. Use 'Me dejó' or 'Me quedé'.
