/Sounds like "KOWGHT" (as in "cow") + "lahc" (as in "lava") + "KEENG" (as in "keep")/
Borrowed from English internet slang and used across Spanish-speaking social media, "caught lacking" means being caught off guard or unprepared when something unexpected hits. That moment of carelessness you can't talk your way out of.
“Me caught lacking sin estudiar y había quiz sorpresa.”
“I got caught lacking with no studying and there was a surprise quiz.”
“Caught lacking en la presentación, no tenía absolutamente nada preparado.”
“Totally caught lacking at the presentation, I had absolutely nothing ready.”

No hay dos sin tres
A Spanish saying warning that if something bad has happened twice, it will likely happen a third time. The numerical superstition that bad luck runs in threes: a heads-up to brace yourself when you have already been hit twice.
