/Sounds like "pee" (as in "pea") + "SAH" (as in "salsa") + "doh" (as in "door")/

Meaning

A Salvadoran word for someone who is drunk, past the buzz, coordination clearly gone. Not as wrecked as being completely smashed but way past just tipsy. It's the middle ground where you can tell they've been drinking but they're still somehow standing and making a fool of themselves.

Examples

He showed up drunk to the birthday dinner and fell asleep in the armchair.

Don't drive if you're drunk, just call a cab.
