/ta-MA-le/
Gossip, a rumor or a story that turns into a much bigger problem than it should have been. In Colombia a tamale is that tale that travels from mouth to mouth, growing bigger with each telling until nobody knows what was true.
"That guy is spreading gossip all over the office."
"Don't make a big deal out of that, it was an accident."

Dar pena
Sentir vergüenza, timidez o incomodidad al hacer algo que te expone. En México 'dar pena' es esa sensación que te frena de actuar por miedo al ridículo.
