Join Hablaaa and add the expression no one else has documented.

/Sounds like "PAH" (as in "park") + "kah" (as in "car")/

Meaning

Money, especially a big impressive wad of bills in Mexico. A paca is a fat stack of cash that looks imposing, the kind of roll you only see in movies or in your dreams.

Examples

He showed up with a paca of bills like it was nothing.

I spend pacas because I earn them working hard.

Word family

To have sex. In most of Latin America "coger" is the most direct colloquial verb for the sexual act. Important cultural note: in Spain "coger" is completely innocent and just means "to grab or take," so mixing up registers between regions causes more than a few awkward moments.
