Piénsalo, considéralo, reflexiona.

Coco = cabeza.

- Claro que puedes resolver esta ecuación, nomás échale coco. -> Piénsalo
- Pues échale coco al asunto de si te divorcias o no; llevas diez años casado. No es cualquier cosa. -> Reflexiona, considera.
- No sé si me va a alcanzar para comprar el coche. Necesito echarle coco. -> Necesito hacer cuentas.
- Hay que echarle coco al asunto de si demandamos o no a la empresa por despido injustificado. -> Hay que pensar bien cómo hacerlo.

"No comes el coco tio" = "Don't do your head in man" with a sense, depending on context of "take it easy" "don't worry the thing so much"
