/Sounds like "pah" (as in "park") + "tah" (as in "tar") + "DOHN" (as in "door")/
A big, powerful kick or shot, way stronger than it needs to be. Most common in soccer talk, but it also describes any hard, heavy blow in everyday contexts. Think cannonball strike, not a gentle tap.
“He blasted a shot from outside the box that the goalkeeper had no chance of stopping.”
“You don't need to kick it that hard, just place it well.”

Pena ajena
