Paso can best be pronounced through the actions of the right wrist-a long healthy roll on of the throttle (can be nicely demonstrated between two long rows of tall buildings), or a simutaneous closing of the throttle and multiple consecutive downshifts so as to facilitate a heavy dose of engine braking. That's all one needs to hear in order to understand "Paso".
