Bandera de México

/Sounds like "ah" + "ga" (as in "garage") + "rrar" (roll the R) + "pa" (as in "papa") + "reh" + "ho"/

To treat everyone equally without distinguishing the innocent from the guilty, usually when someone dishes out punishment or consequences to the whole group. It's rough justice Mexican style where the innocent pay right alongside the guilty, no exceptions, no mercy.

Example

"El profe agarra parejo, a todos les pone tarea extra. -> The teacher treats everyone the same, he gives everyone extra homework."

"La lluvia agarra parejo, a todos nos mojó. -> The rain doesn't pick favorites, it soaked all of us."
