Bajocero

Definition of Bajocero

Bajocero is a phrase or expression that refers to the negative degrees of the Celsius scale, where zero means the freezing point of water.

People use bajocero to express intense cold: How cold, this climate is bajocero!

Commonly, it is written separately: “bajo cero.” However, in this case, it is written together to refer specifically to the Netlix movie “Bajocero.” It is presumed to be written like that to differentiate it from the expression itself and highlight it.
