/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.”

A long, repetitive scolding that everyone has already memorized from hearing it so many times. You could recite it word for word before it even ends. Used in Colombia and Venezuela for that same old lecture you know is coming.
