/Sounds like the English word "pastel" + "eh" (as in "egg") + "AHR" (as in "art")/
To beat around the bush, dodge the truth, or give deliberately vague non-answers. In Venezuela, a "pastelero" is someone who always has a different story for each person. The word comes from "pastel," something that looks solid but turns out to be hollow inside.
“Stop dodging the question and tell us what really happened.”
“That guy was stringing everyone along and nobody caught on until afterward.”

Rallado
Worried, stressed, with your head full of negative thoughts that won't leave you alone. In Spain, 'estar rallado' means your mind is at its limit over something.
