/Sounds like "pee" (as in "pea") + "TOO" (as in "tool") + "toh" (as in "toll")/
A connection, hookup, or inside contact who helps you get something, whether it's a job, a favor, or access to something exclusive. In Chile it's extremely common and reflects the culture of "it's not what you know, it's who you know." Having a pituto can open doors that talent alone sometimes can't.
“I got the job through connections.”
“Without a hookup you won't get into that place, it's always full.”

Bajar el cirio
To get a serious dressing-down, called out harshly and directly in Mexico. When someone bajas el cirio on you, the person in front is furious and not holding back a single word. Usually comes from a boss, a parent, or anyone with authority over you.
