/Sounds like "ahl" (as in "art") + "SAHR" (as in "salsa") + "seh" (as in "set") + "leh" (as in "let") + "EHL" (as in "egg") + "SAHN" (as in "salsa") + "toh" (as in "toll")/
To suddenly snap and lose all self-control, acting on impulse without thinking about the consequences. A vivid Mexican expression: your saintly patron "lifts off" and takes your good judgment with them. When someone goes there, the best move is to step back and wait it out.
“He snapped at the meeting and said things he never should have.”
“When he loses it like that, the best thing to do is back off and let it pass.”

Aguantar
In Venezuela, to wait or be patient, used most often as "aguanta" to tell someone to hold on or pause. One of the most-used fillers to slow someone down or ask for a moment.
