Bandera de Venezuela

/pa-RAR BO-las/

To pay attention, listen, or take someone seriously. In Venezuela, 'no me para bolas' means someone is completely ignoring you — not necessarily rude, just utterly indifferent to your existence. Used constantly in everyday conversation.

Example

"Pay attention to the teacher, that's going to be on the exam."

"She hasn't given me the time of day since the new guy arrived."
