/Sounds like "poh" (as in "port") + "NEHR" (as in "net") + "seh" (as in "set") + "BOO" (as in "boot") + "soh" (as in "solo")/

Meaning

To stay alert and on guard so you do not get tricked, robbed, or caught off guard. In Mexico and Colombia, the person who "se pone buzo" opens their eyes before something bad happens rather than after. A practical reminder to pay attention in risky or unfamiliar situations.

Examples
