/Sounds like "LAH" (as in "lava") + "kah" (as in "car") + "GOH" (as in "go")/
To make a massive mistake, royally screw up, or completely ruin something. When someone does something so badly there's no going back and everyone finds out about the disaster.
“He screwed up when he sent the message to the wrong person.”
“She showed up late to the job interview, totally blew it.”
/Sounds like "LAH" (as in "lava") + "kah" (as in "car") + "GOH" (as in "go")/
An expression of amazement saying something or someone was absolutely incredible. Despite its vulgar literal meaning ("they messed it up"), it flips negative to positive, like saying "that was insane" or "that slapped" in English. Used across Latin America when something blows past every expectation.
“Did you see her look? She absolutely killed it, she was impeccable.”
“The concert was insane, easily the best thing this year.”

Quemarse el foco
In Mexico, to mentally exhaust yourself trying to solve a problem until your brain just gives out with nothing to show for it. The image is a lightbulb that has burned out: it used to illuminate things, now it is just dark.
