A slang phrase used to describe a situation that is looking very grim or unfavorable. It is typically used as an intensifier right after the similar phrase 'feo pa' la foto' to emphasize just how bad or hopeless a situation has become (Dominican slang uses the idea of being unphotogenic for a photo or ID card as a metaphor for being in a mess).
