"ponerle manguera a alguien"

Mexican I believe.

It's clearly an idiom so I'm not looking for "put the hose on someone" or the like grin

Does anyone have example phrases or experience as to how and when it's actually used?

TIA

Yeah, it looks like it Mexican look here

I understand that as "someone, might be several or everybody, contributing without knowing".

Or meddling into = meter la cuchara.
