Bandera de Colombia

/Sounds like 'AH-seh un fah-VOHR ahl kah-DAH-vehr'/

Doing something that doesn't make sense or is no longer useful, often too late to make a difference. In Colombia, it's an expression of total irony, highlighting the futility of an action.

Example

"Arriving now is pointless, they've already finished."

"Don't bother, it's already lost."
