rotten, rotten/corrupt (literal and figurative)adjectiveEncontré una manzana podrida en el fondo de la bolsa.I found a rotten apple at the bottom of the bag.meter la pata
to put your foot in it, to mess up badly, to blunderexpressioncolloquialNon-compositional idiom: 'meter' means to put in and 'pata' means paw or leg, so the literal image gives no clear signal of the social blunder meaning. Very common in everyday Latin American Spanish when someone says or does the wrong thing at the wrong moment.
Metió la pata cuando le preguntó a su jefa cuándo iba a jubilarse.He put his foot in it when he asked his boss when she was going to retire.no tener arreglo
to be beyond fixing, to be a hopeless caseexpressioncolloquialLiterally 'to have no fix/repair', but used figuratively about people or situations considered irredeemable. The non-compositional shift is from objects that can't be repaired to people who can't change, which gives it an emotionally loaded meaning not obvious from the words alone.
Mi tío llegó tarde a cada reunión familiar durante veinte años. No tiene arreglo.My uncle arrived late to every family gathering for twenty years. He's a hopeless case.revolver el estómago
to turn someone's stomach, to make someone sick with disgustexpressioncolloquialFigurative use of 'revolver' (to churn, to stir up) applied to the stomach to express intense revulsion. Used both for physical nausea and, more often in this kind of context, moral or emotional disgust.
Ver cómo tratan a los animales en ese lugar me revuelve el estómago.Seeing how they treat animals in that place turns my stomach.meter la pata
to put one's foot in it, to make a blunderverb phraseMetiste la pata cuando dijiste eso frente a todo el equipo.You put your foot in it when you said that in front of the whole team.hermanado
bonded, united like siblings, twinnedadjective (past participle used predicatively)Crecimos juntos y nos sentimos hermanados desde pequeños.We grew up together and felt bonded like siblings from a young age.
