Your word isn't here yet

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

/Sounds like "pahm" (as in "park") + "pleh" (as in "plenty") + "MOO" (as in "moon") + "sah" (as in "salsa")/

Meaning

In Colombia, an insulting word for an unattractive woman. It is blunt and derogatory, used mostly among men to talk disparagingly about someone's looks. Definitely not something you would say to anyone's face unless you are looking for trouble.

Examples

That guy is with someone really unattractive but swears he's in love.

Don't be rude, don't call the girl ugly when she hasn't done anything to you.

Regional synonyms
Bandera de Argentina
Bagayo

To sell something on informal credit without immediate payment, trusting the customer's word that they will pay later. It is the trust-based economy that keeps neighborhood shops alive across Latin America, where the owner jots it down in a little notebook and knows you will be back.
