Your word isn't here yet

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

/Sounds like the English word "no" (same pronunciation) + "DAHR" (as in "dart") + "OO" (as in "Uber") + "nah" (as in "nacho")/

Meaning

To not get a single thing right, to fail consistently at everything you try. Used in Spain and Argentina for those days when every attempt ends in a mistake, from the small (spilled coffee) to the significant (tanked project).

Examples

Today I can't get anything right, I even spilled my coffee.

That whole team isn't getting a single thing right on this project.

Regional synonyms

To take advantage of someone or abuse a situation with no consideration for others. In Mexico, 'gandallear' is being a bully, whether cutting in line, in business, or in life.
