/Sounds like "SOHM" (as in "solo") + "poh" (as in "port")/
A clumsy person who trips, knocks things over, or breaks stuff on a regular basis, not out of carelessness but just because coordination is not their strong suit. Used in El Salvador and Guatemala with a teasing tone that is more affectionate than mean.
“Dude, you just knocked over the second glass today!”
“I am so clumsy, you better not hand me the nice dishes.”

Tirar la pelota
To pass the buck, to dodge responsibility by pushing it onto someone else. Like tossing a ball to the next person so you do not have to deal with it. Common in Argentina and Uruguay when talking about people who avoid taking ownership of a problem.
