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

/Sounds like "pah" (as in "park") + "tah" (as in "tar") + "DOHN" (as in "door")/

Meaning

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.

Examples

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.

Regional synonyms

To nag, pester or bother someone insistently until they do what you want or simply snap. In Bolivia it's the art of wearing someone down with constant complaints and demands.
