/Sounds like "ahr" (as in "art") + "MAHR" (as in "mark") + "seh" (as in "set") + "DEH" (as in "debt") + "bah" (as in "bar") + "LOHR" (as in "loan")/
To gather the courage needed to do something difficult or scary. That moment of mental preparation right before the moment of truth, when you take a breath, decide to go through with it, and actually do it.
“Me armé de valor y le dije lo que sentía.”
“I gathered my courage and told him how I felt.”
“Para pedir ese aumento hay que armarse bien de valor.”
“To ask for that raise, you really need to work up your nerve first.”

Día de pinta
The day you skip school or work with zero notice and zero real excuse, purely for your own enjoyment. In Mexico and Guatemala, "irse de pinta" means playing hooky for pleasure. A día de pinta can become legendary if you spent it somewhere fun with friends, or deeply awkward when your teacher calls home the next day.
