/Sounds like "PEENG" (as in "pea")/

Examples

Tengo el ping por las nubes, no puedo jugar así.

My ping is through the roof, I cannot play like this.

Con ese ping de 200 es imposible ganar, me matan antes de que reaccione.

With 200ms ping it is impossible to win, I get killed before I can even react.

Regional synonyms

A small gesture with a big cultural weight in Peru and other Andean countries.
