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

/Sounds like "pah" (as in "park") + "loh" (as in "loan") + "MEE" (as in "me") + "yah" (as in "yard")/

Meaning

Your tight-knit group of friends, your crew, the people you always hang out with. In Mexico and Central America the "palomilla" is your ride-or-die squad: the ones you make plans with, cover for each other, and hit the streets with on a Friday night.

Examples

I'm heading downtown with my crew tonight to see what's up.

The whole squad got together to plan Saturday's party.

Regional synonyms

A chaotic commotion, brawl, or mass disturbance when a large group gets worked up at once. In Mexico and Central America, a 'molote' breaks out fast and spreads faster, a fight at a party, a protest that turns physical, a market dispute that pulls in everyone nearby.
