/Sounds like "ehs" (as in "egg") + "pah" (as in "park") + "bee" (as in "bee") + "LAHR" (as in "lava")/
To wake up, snap out of it, and start acting with speed and intelligence. Used in Spain. Telling someone to "espabila" means they are being slow, clueless, or complacent and they need to sharpen up immediately before the situation leaves them behind. It can be a warning, a push, or frustrated advice from someone who sees potential being wasted.

“Since he joined the new team he has really sharpened up and started performing much better.”
