Red flag
A warning sign in a person or relationship that signals something is seriously wrong. The English term "red flag" crossed into Spanish social media vocabulary completely intact and now dominates conversations about dating and relationships across Latin America and Spain. If you are collecting red flags on someone, the situation is probably not improving.
