Join Hablaaa and add the expression no one else has documented.

/Sounds like "mee" (as in "me") + "SYOHN" + "fah" (as in "far") + "YEE" (as in "year") + "dah" (as in "dart")/

Meaning

When something fails or does not go as planned, said with a self-deprecating laugh. Borrowed from the "Mission Failed, We'll Get 'Em Next Time" meme and adopted across Latin America as a casual way to shrug off a setback without too much drama.

Examples

Mission failed, the exam went terribly for me.

I tried to talk to her and mission failed, she completely ignored me.

In Mexico, a casual goodbye between tight friends that literally means "go wash yourself." It sounds rude to anyone outside the circle, but between real buddies it is pure warmth. Only say it to someone who already knows your sense of humor, or it will land completely wrong.
