/Sounds like "ehs" (as in "egg") + "TAHR" (as in "tar") + "EHN" (as in "egg") + "YAH" (as in "yard") + "mahs" (as in "mark")/
To be in serious trouble, in a tough spot, or under heavy pressure, when everything is going wrong at once. In Colombia and Peru, saying you're en llamas (on fire) is not the good kind: it means the situation is burning out of control and you're in the middle of it.
“We're totally screwed, the project is due tomorrow and it's not ready.”
“He's in deep trouble with his debts and has no idea how to get out.”
