I am pretty keen on slang and "campo" dichos but this is one that I cannot figure out. I have a particular friend who says it to me alot and I'm figuring it's bad because it is usually after I do something that she told me not to do and it has a bad outcome And yesterday I heard Nancy Alvarez say it on TV.
Tu 'ta fea pa la foto
and sometimes she will add...
Tu 'ta fea pa la foto y peor pa el video

Thanks,
SHALENA

im guessing it means you shouldnt be allowed out ....or something similar

tu estas fea para la foto y peor para el video
(you are ugly for the foto and worse for the video)

I believe they're saying that things aren't going too well for you.

It means "your chips are down"

I understood it to mean that the person is in an unenviable position.

In Dominican slang it means "Things don't look too good for you".

I thought it meant something like the American idiom: "You've got the perfect face for Radio"! :bunny:

Shalena, darling! How are you! That saying means, hold on now: "You are sh!t outta luck!"

Also means, "You are going nowhere with that kind of thinking", or "you are in deep doo-doo!"

Basically an adaptaion of "Up the Sh!t's River without a paddle"

Sorry for all that unfortunate language,

Love,
