/Sounds like "PAH" (as in "park") + "hwoh"/

Meaning

A Venezuelan insult meaning dumb, clueless, or stupid. It is a light insult used mostly between friends to point out when someone said or did something foolish. Calling someone "pajuo" is like saying "you idiot" in a playful way, not aggressive enough to start a fight but enough to let them know they messed up. It is everyday Venezuelan slang that you will hear constantly in casual conversations.

Examples

Don't be an idiot, that's obvious.

You're so clueless, you didn't even notice.

Stay alert, pay attention, or be ready to act. In Colombia, Ecuador, Venezuela, and Peru, "pilas" is a direct warning or instruction to sharpen up before something important happens. Literally "batteries": having your batteries charged means being switched on and aware.
