Ayunaste
You flopped, you had zero impact
¿Ves? Intentaste dejarme mal y ayunaste, nadie te compró el cuento.
Your friend tries to roast you in front of everyone, but the joke is awkward and nobody laughs, so you whisper: "Ayunaste."
Literally, it means "you fasted," from ayunar (to fast) in the past tense (tú ayunaste).
In practice, it's a teasing way to say someone got nothing out of something: you failed, had zero impact, or your attempt didn't land at all-like "you struck out." It's often used when someone tries to show off, make a point, or "win" an argument and ends up achieving nothing.
In Spanish Gen Z and TikTok slang, "Ayunaste" is the antonym (opposite) of "Devoraste". It is used in social media comments to criticize an outfit, performance, or video in a humorous way, contrasting with high praise like "No dejaste ni las migajas" (You left not even the crumbs).
"Ayunaste" does not mean you were such a coward, you looked really bad, you were a nutjob. It specifically means "You flopped, you had zero impact".
