/Sounds like the English word "petat" + "eh" (as in "egg") + "AHR" (as in "art")/
To die, to kick the bucket. In Mexico, petatear comes from petate, the woven mat on which the poor were laid to die or were buried on. It's darkly poetic slang, blunt and black-humored about death.
“El vecino petateó anoche, descanse en paz.”
“The neighbor passed away last night, rest in peace.”
“With that lifestyle, what he's going to do is die young.”
