/Sounds like "toom" (as in "tool") + "BAHR" (as in "bar") + "EHL" (as in "egg") + "neh" (as in "net") + "GOH" (as in "go") + "syoh"/
To blow a deal right when it is almost sealed, sometimes through poor attitude, sometimes by letting a minor detail spiral out of control. Used in Colombia, Venezuela, and Mexico for the business version of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.
“With that attitude he is going to blow the deal before it even closes.”
“Let us not tank the whole negotiation over a minor detail that can easily be fixed.”

Nothing to sneeze at: something with real weight and importance, not trivial in the slightest. Used in Spain, Mexico, and Colombia to remind people that something deserves genuine respect and attention. The literal image is turkey mucus, which is memorably gross and therefore memorable.
