Bandera de México

/Sounds like "pohn" + "CHAHR" + "seh" (as in "set" without "t")/

To strike out on something important, fail when it matters most, or come up short. It comes from baseball — striking out means whiffing completely, and it's used for any notable failure.

Example

"He struck out on the final exam and failed the class."

"I totally struck out with that girl, she didn't even look at me."

Bandera de México

Consentir, abrazar con cariño y darle amor a alguien que lo necesita. Viene del náhuatl y es una de las palabras más bonitas que México le regaló al español.
