/Sounds like "meh" (as in "met") + "TEE" (as in "tea") + "dah" (as in "dart") + "DEH" (as in "debt") + "PAH" (as in "park") + "tah" (as in "tar")/
A social blunder or foot-in-mouth moment that causes awkwardness or offense without meaning to. The classic metida de pata is the one you do not notice until it is already too late to take back. Widely used across Latin America and Spain.
“Asking if she was pregnant was a terrible blunder.”
“With that one comment he ruined the entire dinner.”

Mamada
A ridiculous excuse or piece of nonsense that does not hold up for a second. In Mexico and Colombia, a mamada is the explanation that insults everyone's intelligence and the whole room immediately sees through it. Also used for anything absurd or pointless.
