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

/Sounds like "pah" (as in "park") + "rah" (as in "rapper") + "kye" (as in "kite") + "DEES" (as in "deep") + "tah" (as in "tar")/

Meaning

A person who shows up to a party or event uninvited, or who illegally settles on someone else's land. They drop in from nowhere, like a parachutist, and make themselves at home without permission.

Examples

Three crashers showed up to the party and drank all the booze.

There are squatter families who've set up on private land around the city.

Word family
Regional synonyms

A Mexican expression of surprise, disbelief, or shock at something unexpected. It is the family friendly, cleaned up version of "no mames" that you can safely say in front of your grandma, your boss, or in public without getting scolded. Think of it as the PG rated "no way!" of Mexican Spanish.
