We all make mistakes, and the first step towards making it up is acknowledging we screwed it up. In RPS Spanish there are two common ways of saying it:

• Me equivoque.
• Pifié.
• Me mandé un moco.
• Metí la pata.
• Me mandé un cagada.

Also, we can use the last two to prevent someone from making a mistake

• No te mandes ninguna cagada, eh.
• No metas la pata, eh.

There are people who seem fated for mistakes. Of them we say:

• [Fulano] siempre mete la pata.
• [Fulano] siempre se manda alguna cagada.

or, “es un catrasca” which shortens “cagada tras cagada”

Embrace mistakes and take the opportunity to practice using these new expressions!

Until soon,
