Συνήθως σε συμφραζόμενα τύπου:
— Τι αμάξι έχεις;
— Πεζό 2.
This is a Greek pun, when someone asks what kind of car you have, you answer "Peugeot 2". "Peugeot" sounds like Greek "πεζό", which is the accusative of the word "πεζός" (pedestrian / on foot). I guess like most puns, it is hard to translate and it would be surprising if there is an equivalent pun in English.
By the way, I would rather spell the name of the company "Πεζώ".
Η φράση αυτή είναι συνθηματική και λέγεται, όταν θέλουμε να πούμε στον άλλο ότι, δεν έχουμε μεταφορικό μέσο.
Δηλαδή:
peugeot = πεζό = πεζός

hoof it
?
Δεν είναι όπως το ελληνικό, βέβαια, με το λογοπαίγνιο της μάρκας αλλά τουλάχιστον είναι ιδίωμα.
The stars, escaping,
Evaporate in acrid mists
[...]Night blows through me.
I am clear with its bitterness.
I tinkle along brick canyons
Like a crystal leaf
