“So, what does ‘qué oso’ mean in Spanish? In most Latin American countries, this phrase is slang for ‘How embarrassing’. is also used in awkward situations where you have made a fool of yourself.” [My emphases]
It literally means: “What a bear!” Some sources say it originally comes from Madrileño drug slang for a “bad trip”. Other sources say it’s a reference to the chained dancing bears of the past. Either way…
