/Sounds like "DAHR" (as in "dart") + "LAH" (as in "lava") + "NOH" (as in "note") + "tah" (as in "tar")/
To make a fool of yourself in public, attract negative attention, and embarrass yourself in front of everyone. It's when someone's behavior is so cringeworthy that everyone notices for the wrong reasons.
“Don't make a scene yelling in the restaurant.”
“She always makes a fool of herself at parties, she can never handle her drinks.”

Le cayó el veinte
The penny finally dropped: someone finally understood something that had been going over their head. The image comes from old Mexican pay phones where you dropped a 20-cent coin ("el veinte") to make the connection. Used both sincerely when someone genuinely figures something out, and sarcastically when they took way too long.
