/Sounds like "beh" (as in "bed") + "REH" (as in "red") + "dah" (as in "dart")/
The sidewalk where pedestrians walk next to the street. In Argentina, Uruguay, and the Southern Cone, nobody says "acera", vereda has always been the go-to word for the path from your house to anywhere.
“Walk on the vereda, not on the street.”
“The bars put tables out on the vereda.”

Pilas
Stay alert, pay attention, or be ready to act. In Colombia, Ecuador, Venezuela, and Peru, "pilas" is a direct warning or instruction to sharpen up before something important happens. Literally "batteries": having your batteries charged means being switched on and aware.
