/Sounds like "poh" (as in "port") + "NEHR" (as in "net") + "seh" (as in "set") + "LAHS" (as in "lava") + "BOH" (as in "boat") + "tahs" (as in "tar")/
In Spain, to make a killing or cash in big from a favorable situation. You "put your boots on" when an opportunity lets you profit way more than expected, whether financially or personally.
“They made a killing with that business deal during the boom years.”
“The contractors really put their boots on during the real estate bubble.”

To feast, gorge yourself, or eat and drink in glorious excess. In Spain, "ponerse las botas" means going all in on a meal or celebration without holding back. The image is of pulling on your boots and diving in with full commitment. Used after buffets, weddings, and any spread that deserved maximum dedication.
“We absolutely feasted at that all-you-can-eat buffet.”
“At the wedding we ate everything in sight, the spread had it all.”

De una
Immediately, without thinking twice, with instant decision. When someone suggests a plan and you respond 'de una,' you're saying you don't need a single second to decide, you're already in.
