/Sounds like "pahn" (as in "park") + "SAH" (as in "salsa") + "soh" (as in "solo")/
A belly flop: hitting the water or ground flat on your stomach with maximum impact and minimum dignity. The classic panzazo is jumping into the pool thinking you nailed a dive and coming up with your whole belly red. Painful, loud, and everyone saw it.
“He belly-flopped into the pool and splashed everyone.”
“He hit the ground so hard at the park you could hear it from far away.”
/Sounds like "pahn" (as in "park") + "SAH" (as in "salsa") + "soh" (as in "solo")/
In Mexico, barely scraping by with the minimum required, passing something by the thinnest possible margin. It also refers to belly-flopping onto water or the ground with full surface impact.
“I passed the exam by the skin of my teeth, just the bare minimum.”
“He belly-flopped into the pool and splashed everyone around him.”

Embalar
To take off at full speed or throw yourself completely into something with no brakes. In Argentina and Chile, embalarse is going from zero to maximum in an instant: the car that accelerates uncontrollably downhill, or the person who commits to a project with everything they have and won't stop until it's done.
