/Sounds like "pool" (as in "pool") + "peh" (as in "pet") + "REE" (as in "reed") + "ah" (as in "art")/
A neighborhood shop or general store in Costa Rica and Venezuela where you buy essentials and catch up on gossip. It's a lifelong community meeting point, more than a business, it's a social institution.
“I'm going to the pulpería for milk.”
“The corner pulpería sells everything.”

Sacado de onda
A Mexican expression for someone who's freaked out, disoriented, or mentally somewhere else. The literal idea is being 'pulled out of your wavelength,' as if your brain got disconnected from reality for a moment. It describes anyone reacting weirdly, losing their train of thought, or just acting off.
