Your word isn't here yet

Join Hablaaa and add the expression no one else has documented.

/Sounds like "DAHR" (as in "dart") + "OON" (as in "Uber") + "PAH" (as in "park") + "soh" (as in "solo") + "EHN" (as in "egg") + "FAHL" (as in "far") + "soh" (as in "solo")/

Meaning

To make a miscalculation or reckless move that worsens everything in an instant. One wrong step can undo months of careful work, and the damage is often harder to repair than the original problem ever was.

Examples

Un paso en falso y pierde el caso.

One misstep and the whole case is lost.

Dio un paso en falso con ese comentario y todo cambió.

He said the wrong thing and everything shifted from that moment on.

To look at something with interest or to keep an eye on something in Mexico. It has dual use: watching over something someone left in your care, or discreetly checking out someone you like without them noticing.
