/Sounds like "ehm" (as in "egg") + "bah" (as in "bar") + "RRAHR" + "lah" (as in "lava")/
To screw up badly, to make a serious mistake that damages something or lets people down. In Colombia, embarrarla (literally "to mud everything up") is the go-to expression when you have made a real error and there is no pretending otherwise. Admitting you la embarraste means accepting full responsibility.
“I messed up with what I said and now she is not talking to me.”
“Do not screw this one up, it is your last chance.”
/Sounds like "ehm" (as in "egg") + "bah" (as in "bar") + "RRAHR" + "lah" (as in "lava")/
To mess something up or make a situation worse through a bad decision in Chile. The person who "la embarra" puts their foot in it and leaves things in a worse state than before.
“She blew it when she spilled the secret in front of everyone.”
“Don't mess it up now that we are winning, play it cool.”

Estar encabronado
To be really, genuinely furious, well beyond just being annoyed. Used in Mexico. "Encabronado" sits at the high end of the anger scale, a state of pure rage that you do not want to provoke or get in the way of. It can build slowly from accumulated frustration or explode from a single betrayal.
