/Sounds like "LAH" (as in "lava") + "POOL" (as in "pool") + "gah" (as in "garden")/
Chicano slang for the flea market or swap meet, a direct calque from English. A central part of barrio life on weekends: cheap goods, food stalls, and family time all in one place.
“We're going to the flea market Sunday to look for truck parts.”
“They sell everything at the swap meet, even tacos and music.”
