Join Hablaaa and add the expression no one else has documented.

/Sounds like "BYE" (as in "bye") + "pah" (as in "park")/

Meaning

A Paraguayan expression meaning things went wrong, something looks bad, or the situation just got complicated. From Guaraní "vai" (bad, ugly) plus the particle "pa." You say it when everything falls apart.

Examples

That's rough, the trip got cancelled at the last minute.

Damn, we lost the match in the final minute.

Regional synonyms

A bus or minibus for public transit that runs through city streets. It's the daily transport for millions of people in Chile, Mexico, and Argentina, those packed vehicles where you ride squeezed but you arrive.
