In vain, pointlessly, with no result whatsoever. A Rioplatense expression that underscores that an effort or action accomplished absolutely nothing, similar to "for nothing" or "all for nothing."
“I woke up early for nothing, the meeting was in the afternoon.”
“He studied all night for nothing because they cancelled the exam.”

Ponerse en pedo
To get drunk in Argentina and Uruguay. "Pedo" on its own means drunkenness (and also fart, but context is everything), and "ponerse en pedo" is the act of reaching that state. It is casual, cheerful, and very Rioplatense: Argentines and Uruguayans use it without any judgment, just describing a fact of social life.
