/Sounds like "pah" (as in "park") + "RAHR" (as in "rapper") + "BOH" (as in "boat") + "lah" (as in "lava")/
To pay attention to someone, to acknowledge their presence. In the Caribbean, especially the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, and Cuba, "no pararle bola" means to completely ignore someone, to give them the cold shoulder as if they do not exist.
“Don't pay him any mind, he only talks to get attention.”
“Nobody pays attention to him at meetings.”

Tumbaíto
A confident, rhythmic walk that turns heads without even trying. Rooted in Afro-Caribbean culture and the musical concept of "tumbao," a tumbaíto in Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic is that natural swag in someone's stride that cannot be taught or faked.
