/Sounds like "mah" (as in "mark") + "mah" (as in "mark") + "DEH" (as in "debt") + "rah" (as in "rapper") + "DEH" (as in "debt") + "GAH" (as in "garden") + "yoh" (as in "yoke")/
Relentless teasing or messing around that has gone on way too long and stopped being funny. In Colombia, mamadera de gallo is when the joke ran out of steam but someone keeps pushing it, and now everyone just wants a straight answer or some peace.
“Enough with the games, just tell me the truth already.”
“You spent all day messing around and we got absolutely nothing done.”

In Colombia and Venezuela, a joke or prank that has gone too far and stopped being funny. When someone keeps messing around in a serious situation and refuses to take it seriously, that is mamadera de gallo.
“Para la mamadera de gallo que hay cosas serias que resolver.”
“Cut the nonsense, there are serious things to deal with.”
“¿Eso es de verdad o es pura mamadera de gallo?”
“Is that for real or are you just messing around?”

Plot twist
An unexpected turn of events in real life, borrowed straight from movie language. When life throws a plot twist at you, nobody saw it coming and everything suddenly looks different. Used across Latin America and Spain by anyone who watches enough Netflix.
