Bandera de Venezuela

/Sounds like "PEH" (as in "pet" without "t") + "oh" (as in "go")/

A problem, mess, or complicated situation in Venezuela. When things go sideways and chaos erupts, what you've got is a peo — and someone's usually to blame for it.

Example

"There's a big problem at the office and nobody knows how to fix it."

"Don't get involved in that mess, it's not worth it."
