Your word isn't here yet

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

/Sounds like "pee" (as in "pea") + "YAH" (as in "yard") + "doh" (as in "door")/

Meaning

Getting caught in a compromising situation or discovered doing something you shouldn't have been doing. That horrible feeling when there's no excuse that'll work because they already saw you.

Examples

He got caught cheating on the exam and got expelled.

I got caught sneaking cake.

Word family

A coward, someone too scared to face difficult situations who always finds an excuse to back down when it really counts. In Spain, "gallina" literally means hen, and calling someone one is the classic way of saying they simply do not have the nerve to step up.
