/Sounds like "pah" (as in "park") + "TEE" (as in "tea") + "yah" (as in "yard")/
Watermelon, the large sweet fruit with red flesh. In Venezuela and Colombia, it's never called sandía, it's always patilla, and asking for a sandía there might get you a puzzled look.
“Buy a cold watermelon for the heat.”
“We ate a whole watermelon at the park.”

Watermelon. In Venezuela and Colombia, patilla is the everyday word for this juicy, water-rich fruit. A staple in warm climates, eaten fresh, as juice, or as a chilled afternoon snack, and sold by the slice in markets from early morning.
“Compra una patilla bien fría para la tarde.”
“Grab a nice cold watermelon for the afternoon.”
“En esa plaza venden patilla en trozos desde temprano.”
“In that plaza they sell watermelon by the slice starting early in the morning.”

Embolatarse
To get confused, tangled up in a mess, or completely lost in a complicated situation in Colombia. Embolatarse is that moment when the situation spiraled beyond your understanding and now you're not sure how you got here or what you're supposed to do next.
