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

/Sounds like "DEH" (as in "debt") + "PEHR" (as in "pet") + "dees" (as in "deep")/

Meaning

At least, or the bare minimum you can settle for in Mexico. "De perdis" is how you make peace with an imperfect outcome: if you cannot have the ideal, de perdis you hold onto the smallest win. It carries a resigned but practical tone, like saying "well, at least there's that."

Examples

I couldn't go to the concert but at least I watched the full video.

At least leave one taco for me, the others are already gone.

Regional synonyms

A person who always generates or is at the center of chaos and disorder, chaos personified.
