/Sounds like "tah" (as in "tar") + "roo" (as in "rude") + "GAH" (as in "garden") + "dah" (as in "dart")/
A stupid mistake, dumb move, or blunder that anyone could have avoided. In Mexico, a tarugada is what happens when you act without thinking: sending a message to the wrong person, breaking the thing you were fixing, saying exactly the wrong thing at the wrong time.
“What a dumb move you just made!”
“He sent the message to his boss instead of his friend, an epic fail.”

Luma
The baton used by Chilean Carabineros to control crowds, historically made from luma wood, a native Chiloé hardwood. The luma became a symbol of police brutality during the 2019 social uprising, when images of Carabineros wielding them against protesters circled the world.
