/Sounds like "mah" (as in "mark") + "MOH" (as in "more") + "lah" (as in "lava")/
Nothing, zilch, zero. Used in Colombia when something promised or expected simply did not materialize. "Hacer la mamola" means leaving someone empty-handed after raising their expectations. It dismisses a request or result with firm, sometimes comic, finality.
“I asked him for that favor and he left me with absolutely nothing.”
“We went all the way to the party and mamola, everything was already closed when we got there.”
/Sounds like "mah" (as in "mark") + "MOH" (as in "more") + "lah" (as in "lava")/
In Colombia, a sarcastic flat-out no: the equivalent of "not a chance" or "absolutely not," said with a mocking tone. Used to shut down a request or idea without any softness.
“You want me to lend you money again? Mamola.”
“Mamola am I working for free.”

No tener dos dedos de frente
To have absolutely no common sense, to consistently make obviously wrong decisions as if basic logic simply does not register. Used across Spain, Mexico, and Argentina to describe someone whose judgment is so poor it genuinely baffles everyone around them.
