don't get your hopes upexpressioncolloquialA fixed idiomatic warning telling someone not to expect something good.

messed up, put one's foot in itexpressioncolloquialA very common Latin American colloquial expression meaning to make a mistake or blunder, often by saying or doing the wrong thing. Literally 'stuck the leg/paw in it.' Used casually between friends or family.
