/Sounds like "ah" (as in "art") + "bees" (as in "bee") + "PAH" (as in "park") + "doh" (as in "door")/
Quick-witted, sharp, and street-smart. In Colombia, Venezuela, Spain, and Ecuador, avispado describes the person who reads every room instantly, catches on before anyone else, and never gets caught off guard. From "avispa" (wasp): alert, fast, and not someone you want to try to fool.
“Ese chico es muy avispado, nadie le ve la cara. (That guy is really sharp, nobody can pull anything on him.)”
“Tienes que ser más avispado si no quieres que te tumben el negocio. (You need to be sharper if you don't want someone to run your business into the ground.)”

Zurcir
To tell someone to buzz off in a colorful way, to send them far away and leave you alone. In Mexico, 'mandar a zurcir' is a rejection that sounds classy but the message is crystal clear.
