Your word isn't here yet

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

/Sounds like "pahl" (as in "park") + "MAHR" (as in "mark")/

Meaning

To die, kick the bucket, or stop working altogether. In Spain, 'palmarla' is how you refer to death when you want zero sentimentality, direct, slightly dark, and utterly Spanish in its refusal to dress things up. Also used for objects that finally give out after years of use.

Examples

The old dog finally died last night.

My laptop finally gave out, it was ten years old.

Regional synonyms

A vulgar Colombian expression meaning to have sex. Literally translating to "hit the stuffed animal," it is a playful, street level way to talk about hooking up. Used mostly among male friends in casual, informal settings, it carries a humorous tone rather than a crude one.
