Bandera de México

/Sounds like "poh" (as in "pole") + "NEHR" + "seh" (as in "set" without "t") + "SAHL" + "sah" (as in "salsa")/

To get aggressive, confrontational, or start looking for trouble for no reason in Mexico. When someone se pone salsa, they're overreacting and being provocative, picking fights where there were none.

Example

"Don't get all salsa, it was just a comment."

"He got all salsa when they told him he couldn't get in."
