Meco
/Sounds like "MEH" (as in "met") + "koh" (as in "coat")/
A dummy, an idiot, someone who acts stupid without thinking about consequences in Mexico. It's a light insult tossed around between friends to point out that someone did something incredibly dumb.
“Don't be a meco, that's how you do it.”
“The meco fell off his chair and everyone laughed.”
“I told him not to do it and the meco did it anyway.”

Patear el tablero
To completely upend the rules or the established order, usually abruptly. In Argentina and Uruguay, patear el tablero means blowing up what was agreed in order to start fresh, flipping the whole board over when a process has stalled or when someone decides the current setup simply is not working.
