/Sounds like "poh" (as in "port") + "NEHR" (as in "net") + "seh" (as in "set") + "EHN" (as in "egg") + "PEH" (as in "pet") + "doh" (as in "door")/

Meaning

To get drunk in Argentina and Uruguay. "Pedo" on its own means drunkenness (and also fart, but context is everything), and "ponerse en pedo" is the act of reaching that state. It is casual, cheerful, and very Rioplatense: Argentines and Uruguayans use it without any judgment, just describing a fact of social life.

Examples

Se puso en pedo con tres cervezas nomás.

He got wasted on just three beers.

Esta noche nos ponemos en pedo, ¿va?

Tonight we are getting properly drunk, you in?
