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

Meaning

The response time of your internet connection, measured in milliseconds and critical for online gaming. The lower the number the better: anything under 50ms is smooth, once it climbs past 100 you start feeling every delay and losing fights you should have won.

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

In Argentina, to handle something with too much force or bluntness when the situation called for a gentler touch. When someone "da con el mazo," they said or did something with more impact than necessary, leaving little room for the other person to recover.
