Add a word/Sounds like "bah" (as in "bar") + "LYOH" + "MAH" (as in "mark") + "drehs" (as in "dress")/

Examples
“I showed up late three times, my promotion is completely gone.”
“Well, that's it then, they're shutting down the office.”

Picarse
To get offended, take something personally, or feel called out by something said in general. In Mexico, if someone 'se pica,' they reacted to a comment that wasn't even directed at them, which usually means it hit closer to home than they'd like to admit.
