eba

1 definition
#1 TOP DEFINITION

에바 — 'that's too much' / going overboard. From the English 'over' via a creative phonetic route. Used to call out exaggeration, excessive claims, or dramatic behavior. In fan communities, it's used both critically (calling out overhyped claims) and affectionately (when a fan's love goes into theatrical territory).

Example
Saying Jungkook's voice is better than Freddie Mercury's is a little 에바. Let's stay in reality.
