/Sounds like "reh" (as in "red") + "SAHL" (as in "salsa") + "toh" (as in "toll")/
A speed bump in Spain and Colombia. Those raised humps on the road designed to slow you down that also destroy your car's suspension. Every Spanish-speaking country has a different name for them: "topes" in Mexico, "lomos de toro" in Chile, "policías acostados" in other countries, and "resalto" in Spain and Colombia.
“Slow down, there's a speed bump ahead.”
“The speed bumps are poorly marked.”

Bajar el cirio
To get a serious dressing-down, called out harshly and directly in Mexico. When someone bajas el cirio on you, the person in front is furious and not holding back a single word. Usually comes from a boss, a parent, or anyone with authority over you.
