A huge, disgusting mess. In Mexico, cochinero describes a place that is filthy, cluttered, or so disorganized it makes you cringe just looking at it. The word comes from "cochino" (pig, dirty), and it is exactly what your mom calls your room when you have not cleaned it in a week. It can refer to physical messes like a trashed kitchen after a party, or even a messy situation in general. If someone says your place is a cochinero, you should probably start cleaning immediately.
“Your room is a pigsty, pick up your stuff.”
“They left a huge mess in the kitchen after the party.”

Tener el santo de espaldas
When nothing goes your way and it feels like the universe has a personal grudge against you. In Mexico and Spain, the image is religious: your patron saint has literally turned their back on you, leaving you to fend for yourself against an endless streak of bad luck.
