To screw everything up, to not get a single thing right. This expression comes from soccer, describing someone who can't even kick the ball properly, and it is used for any situation where absolutely nothing is going your way. Whether it's a bad day at work, a disastrous exam, or fumbling through a conversation, "no dar pie con bola" means you are completely off your game. Common across Spain and Latin America.

Your ideal partner, your soulmate, the person who completes you perfectly as if you were two halves of the same fruit. Finding your media naranja is the most universal romantic dream in the Spanish-speaking world.
