Can someone explain to me what the term "Diskohido" means??

I am Bisaya, but there’s this one word that has confused me for a really long time. I often hear people use this word whenever someone ends up in an unfortunate or unlucky situation. I’ve tried searching for its meaning, but the information I found was pretty limited, and some explanations didn’t really match how I’ve heard people use the word in the appropriate scenario.

I was honestly too shy to ask my friends or family about it because I felt like I should already know what it meant. I did eventually ask my mom once, but she kept joking around and wouldn’t give me a straight answer, almost like she was messing with me. The only thing I vaguely remember her saying was something about being “disqualified”, but I’m not even sure if that was actually what she meant.

Could someone please explain what this word actually means, especially how it’s commonly used in Bisaya? It would also really help if you could give me a few example sentences or situations where the word would naturally be used.

Now it would honestly be really embarrassing for me if the meaning turns out to be something very simple and I’ve just been overthinking it all this time.
