/Sounds like "poh" (as in "port") + "NEHR" (as in "net") + "PAH" (as in "park") + "nyohs" (as in "onion") + "FREE" (as in "free") + "ohs" (as in "oh")/
To calm down a tense situation before it escalates further. The phrase comes from the literal use of cold damp cloths to bring down a fever, and in Argentina, Chile, and Uruguay it applies to any conflict at work, in the family, or among friends where someone steps in to lower the temperature.
“He was the only one who tried to cool things down when the argument was getting out of hand.”
“There is no calming anyone down once both sides have fully dug in their heels.”

Taguara
A no-frills neighborhood bar in Venezuela where drinks are cheap, the music is loud, and nobody is pretending to be fancy. A taguara is the kind of place you go when you just want to drink without ceremony or a dress code.
