/Sounds like "PAH" (as in "park") + "lee" (as in "lead") + "dah" (as in "dart")/
A moment of intense embarrassment that makes you want to disappear on the spot. In the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico, dar palida describes that split second of mortification when something goes wrong in front of everyone and there is nowhere to hide.
“I was absolutely mortified when I dropped everything on the floor in front of everyone.”
“I nearly died of embarrassment when I ran into him there with someone else.”

Jevi
In the Dominican Republic, cool, dope, or good vibes. The word comes from the English "heavy," adapted to Dominican phonetics where the h became a hard j. A quick, casual compliment for anything worth noticing, used by young and old alike on the street and on social media.
