/Sounds like "AH" (as in "art") + "BWEH" + "nahs" (as in "nacho") + "OH" (as in "oh") + "rahs" (as in "rapper")/
An ironic Spanish expression for something that arrived way too late to be of any use. Used when help, news, or action finally shows up long after it could have made a real difference. The full phrase is often "a buenas horas mangas verdes," referring to the green-sleeved officers who always showed up after the trouble was already over.
“Thanks for letting me know now, I already finished the project on my own.”
“A little late for that, the train has already left and there is nothing anyone can do.”

Meterle gas
To step on the gas, push harder, or bring more intensity to something. Used all across Latin America, "meterle gas" is the call to stop coasting and start driving: a project near its deadline, a car that needs to speed up, or any effort that needs a real, sustained push.
