Your word isn't here yet

Join Hablaaa and add the expression no one else has documented.

/Sounds like "poh" (as in "port") + "NEHR" (as in "net") + "seh" (as in "set") + "AHL" (as in "art") + "TEE" (as in "tea") + "roh" (as in "row")/

Meaning

To get yourself ready and in position to act whenever needed. In Mexico, "ponerse al tiro" signals that you're officially in go-mode: ready to head out, get to work, or handle whatever comes your way.

Examples

Get ready, we're heading out soon.

I'm already prepped for tomorrow's project.
