Literally meaning (roughly) “Put in your batteries,” Ponte Las Pilas is an oft-repeated phrase in Spanish intended to offer a quick encouraging course of action to address an issue being faced. It is a phrase that in English is not quite “pull yourself up by the bootstraps,” “keep your chin up,” “try hard(er),” or in the parlance of marketing and advertising, “just do it,” but nevertheless, it intends something similar.
