Bandera de México

/Sounds like 'ah-gah-RRAR deh bah-HA-da'/

To catch someone off guard or take advantage of a moment of weakness or distraction. In Mexico, getting agarrado de bajada means someone timed their move perfectly — you were vulnerable and they knew exactly when to strike.

Example

"He caught me off guard when I was tired and I signed without reading."

"He always catches you at your worst moment."
