/Sounds like "pah" (as in "park") + "SAHR" (as in "salsa") + "BOO" (as in "boot") + "soh" (as in "solo")/
In Colombia, to play it clever and exploit someone's trust to bend or bypass the rules entirely. The person who "pasa buzo" takes advantage without anyone noticing until it is already too late, acting like the rules simply do not apply to them.
“No me pases buzo, sé perfectamente que ya cobraste eso.”
“Don't try to play me, I know perfectly well you already collected that.”
“Siempre pasa buzo en la cola, se cuela como si nada.”
“He always cuts in line like it's nothing, acts like the rules don't apply to him.”

A clumsy person who trips, knocks things over, or breaks stuff on a regular basis, not out of carelessness but just because coordination is not their strong suit. Used in El Salvador and Guatemala with a teasing tone that is more affectionate than mean.
