/Sounds like "DYAH" + "bloh" (as in "blow") + "ROH" (as in "row") + "hoh" (as in "hope")/

Meaning

The iconic old public buses of Panama City, painted top to bottom with psychedelic murals, religious images, and bold lettering. In Panama, "diablo rojo" refers to these recycled American school buses turned into rolling art. They are a symbol of national identity, though they have been gradually phased out in recent years.

Examples

I had to ride a diablo rojo all the way downtown, the music was deafening.

That bus had a huge Michael Jackson mural painted on the back.
