/Sounds like "moh" (as in "more") + "HAHR" (as in "hard") + "EHL" (as in "egg") + "peh" (as in "pet") + "TAH" (as in "tar") + "teh" (as in "ten")/
Mexican expression for ruining a situation that was going well at the worst possible moment. Said of someone who puts their foot in it or breaks something when everything was going perfectly.
“Do not go and mess this up now that the negotiation was going so well.”
“Everything was fine until he opened his mouth and ruined it.”

To wet the bed, literally to soak the petate (the traditional palm mat used for sleeping). In Mexico it is the classic childhood embarrassment, used matter-of-factly about small kids or pets who have not yet learned bladder control.
“The kid wet the bed three times this week, we need to take him to the doctor.”
“You have to take the dog out before bed or he'll wet the floor.”

That sudden, inexplicable feeling of repulsion toward someone you used to find attractive. One tiny, often ridiculous detail shatters all the attraction at once, and you simply cannot look at that person the same way ever again.
