/Sounds like "bahn" (as in "bar") + "KEH" (as in "kept") + "tah" (as in "tar")/
The sidewalk in Mexico, the raised space next to the street where you walk to avoid getting run over. In Mexico nobody says "acera", it's banqueta, and don't you dare drive your car up on the banqueta.
“Walk on the banqueta, not on the street.”
“The banqueta is all broken up, people are gonna trip.”

Estar en la parra
In Spain, to be out of touch with reality, lost in daydreams far above everyday life. The image is someone sitting up in a grapevine, too high up to notice what is happening at ground level. Used when someone has unrealistic expectations or simply is not paying attention.
