/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.”

In Central America, a casual, agenda-free hangout where friends get together to talk, laugh, and kill time. A chorcha has no fixed schedule and no pretensions: just people who trust each other, sitting around with good humor and nowhere they need to be.
