/Sounds like "peh" (as in "pet") + "LAHR" (as in "lava") + "seh" (as in "set")/

Examples

Get out of here, your ex is coming!

A distilled sugarcane spirit, the local equivalent of aguardiente, widely consumed in Bolivia, Paraguay, and Peru. Drunk straight, mixed with water, or used as the base for traditional cocktails in the region. Rough around the edges and deeply tied to local drinking culture.
