/Sounds like "pay" (as in "pay") + "NAHR" (as in "nacho") + "KAH" (as in "car") + "nahs" (as in "nacho")/
To be older and experienced, with years of wisdom to show for it. The image is of someone whose hair has turned gray from all they have lived through. When someone has been "peining canas" in a field, you listen to them.
“Listen to him, he's been in that business for years and knows it inside out.”
“When you're older you'll understand what I'm telling you.”
