"Este temario te lo tienes que aprender de pe a pa" "Me dejo la cosas claras, de pe a pa" something curious for chileno http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_Pe_a_Pa Saludos PD: this is only a funny guess. As school learnes, we lear "a-e-i-o-u" "ba-be-bi-bo-bu""ca-ce-ci-co-cu"... "pa-pe-pi-po-pu"........ so "de pe a pa" means completely, from pe-------------pa
