/Sounds like "sah" (as in "salsa") + "BEHR" (as in "bed") + "lah" (as in "lava") + "TEEN" (as in "tea")/
To be very smart, savvy, or experienced, someone who cannot be easily fooled. In Spain and Mexico, "saber latín" is a compliment packed inside an old-fashioned expression: this person understands how the world works and is not going to fall for anything obvious.
“No intentes engañarlo, ese sabe latín.”
“Don't try to trick him, he knows exactly what's going on.”
“Mi abuela no iba a la escuela pero sabía más latín que nadie.”
“My grandmother never went to school but she was sharper than anyone around.”
