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.

Venezuela's national dish: white rice, black beans (caraotas negras), shredded beef (carne mechada), and fried sweet plantain slices (tajadas). Pabellón is not just food, it is national identity on a plate. Every Venezuelan living abroad knows the specific feeling of missing it.
