/Sounds like "bah" (as in "bar") + "HAHR" (as in "hard") + "seh" (as in "set") + "DEHL" (as in "debt") + "BOO" (as in "boot") + "rroh"/
To back down, admit you were wrong, or stop clinging to a losing position. In Mexico and Guatemala, when someone finally "baja del burro" (gets off the donkey), they drop the ego and accept reality. The image is concrete: a stubborn rider who finally dismounts and admits the journey is over.
“Ya bájate del burro y acepta que perdiste la apuesta.”
“Just get off your high horse and accept that you lost the bet.”
“Se bajó del burro cuando vio las evidencias.”
“He finally came down off his high horse once the evidence was right in front of him.”
