/al ko-E-te/
In vain, for nothing, without any result. In Argentina, 'al cohete' is the expression for effort that went nowhere — you waited, you worked, you prepared, and in the end it didn't matter. All that energy dissolved into air.
"I waited two hours for nothing — in the end they cancelled everything."
"All that work was for nothing — they rejected it."
