/Sounds like "ahm" (as in "art") + "pah" (as in "park") + "YAHR" (as in "yard")/
In Peru, to catch someone red-handed, right in the middle of doing something they shouldn't be doing. You get "ampayado" when someone busts you in the act.
“They caught him cheating on the exam.”
“I almost got busted sneaking out of work early.”

Perder los papeles
To lose emotional control and react in a completely over-the-top or irrational way. Used in Spain. It is the equivalent of "snapping" or "losing your cool," that moment when reason steps aside and pure emotion takes over with no filter. Usually happens when something hits a nerve that was already stretched too thin.
