causa

causa

Originally referring to a legal case file, this term is used when someone drags you into a conflict or reproaches you. The phrase hacer causa applies when a person picks a fight or pins the blame on you for a specific situation (Argentine slang often adapts legal and criminal terminology).

Don't come trying to hacer causa over what happened last night, I wasn't even at your cousin's house.
