/Sounds like "PEH" (as in "pet") + "oh" (as in "oh")/

Meaning

Venezuelan slang for a problem, a mess, or a complicated situation. When things get difficult you need to deal with it fast, because a small peo grows into a huge one if you ignore it long enough.

Examples

A huge drama broke out at the office over something totally insignificant.

I do not want any more problems. Leave me alone. I have had enough.

To be completely fed up, at the absolute end of your patience. In Spain, "hasta las narices" is the family-friendly version of a stronger equivalent. When someone reaches this point they are not just annoyed: they are entirely done.
