/Sounds like "mah" (as in "mark") + "LEH" (as in "let") + "tah" (as in "tar")/
A useless person who is a total liability, someone who ruins everything they touch and never contributes to the group. In Peru and Bolivia calling someone a maleta is one of the most direct ways to say they are completely hopeless at something.
“Don't put him on the team, he's completely useless.”
“I am a total maleta at soccer, I can't score even when the goal is wide open.”

Estar en el quinto pino
To be in the middle of nowhere, extremely far away. If something is "en el quinto pino," you will need a long journey just to get there. Used in Mexico and Central America for any place that feels unreasonably remote.
