A buenas horas
An ironic Spanish expression for something that arrived way too late to be of any use. Used when help, news, or action finally shows up long after it could have made a real difference. The full phrase is often "a buenas horas mangas verdes," referring to the green-sleeved officers who always showed up after the trouble was already over.
