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

In Mexico, someone who had to wake up very early and is walking around sleepy, stiff, and in a bad mood from the lack of rest. Being desmañanado is the price of forced early rising.
