/Sounds like "dehs" (as in "debt") + "peh" (as in "pet") + "LOH" (as in "loan") + "teh" (as in "ten")/
Total disorder, absolute chaos, or a situation completely out of control. A despelote is when everything goes haywire, people yelling, things breaking, and nobody knows what's happening.
“The party turned into complete chaos when the cops showed up.”
“What a mess at the office today, everyone was running around.”

Total chaos, disorder, or a situation completely out of control. In the Caribbean, when there is a despelote everything is happening at once, nobody is in charge, and the place looks like a tornado hit it. Or it could just be an extremely wild party.
“There is total chaos here, nobody knows what is going on.”
“The party turned into complete mayhem at midnight.”

Piropo
A compliment tossed at someone in public, usually about their looks. In Spanish-speaking cultures, piropos range from poetic verses to blunt flattery. How welcome they are depends entirely on context and tone: street piropos are increasingly seen as unwanted in big cities.
